(In this course of lectures I have attempted to carry out,...)
In this course of lectures I have attempted to carry out, under the freer conditions of the University Extension system, a purpose conceived many years ago at Oxford. It was suggested to me by the answer of a friend, engaged like myself from time to time in teaching elementary Logic, to the question which I put to him, What do you aim at in teaching Logic to beginners? What do you think can reasonably be hoped for? If the men could learn what an Inference is, it would be something, was the reply. The course of lectures which I now publish was projected inthe spirit thus indicated. Though only the two last discourses deal explicitly with Inference, yet those which precede them contribute, I hope, no less essentially, to explain the nature of that single development which in some stages we call Judgment, and in others Inference. So far as I could see, the attempt to go to the heart of the subject, however imperfectly executed, was appreciated by the students, and was rewarded with a serious attention which would not have been commanded by the trivialities of formal Logic, although more entertaining and less abstruse. The details of traditional terminology may be found in Jevons's Elementary Lessons in Logic (Macmillan).

(After more than ten years teaching ancient Greek history ...)
After more than ten years teaching ancient Greek history and philosophy at University College, Oxford, the British philosopher and political theorist Bernard Bosanquet (1848-1923) resigned from his post to spend more time writing. He was particularly interested in contemporary social theory, including the social ramifications of the growing field of psychology, and this book, published in 1897, is a collection of his lectures on this topic. The ten lectures explore many aspects of psychology and its relationship to larger philosophical and ethical issues. Bosanquet poses the question whether psychology takes a subjective point of view, while other sciences take an objective one. He discusses classic psychological themes such as the ego, the soul, self-consciousness, emotion and feeling, and individual volition. Bosanquet's observations in these concise essays offer the perspective of a leading nineteenth-century thinker on this growing and influential field of scientific and social inquiry.

This new edition reintroduces on the central texts of late nineteenth-century political thought. In addition to the fourth and final edition of the Philosophical Theory of the State, the editors have added a comprehensive selection of Bosanquet’s most important essays on political theory and social policy. Also added is a detailed new introduction, a guide to further reading, and an index. Together they make clear the social and political background and implications of Bosanquet’s political philosophy and allow a more complete understanding of British idealism.

This is the whole purpose of the book; and I have intentionally abstained from practical applications, except by way of illustration. It is my conviction, indeed, that a better understanding of fundamental principles would very greatly contribute to the more rational handling of practical problems. But this better understanding is only to be attained, as it seems to me, by a thorough examination of ideas, apart from the associations of practical issues about which a fierce party spirit has been aroused. A nd, moreover, it is my belief that the influence of the ideas here maintained upon practical discussion, would be, in a certain sense, to detach it from philosophical theory. The principles which I ad vocate would destroy so many party prejudices, would put the mind in possession of so many clues to fact, that practical social issues would in con sequence be considered as problems of life and mind, to be treated only with intimate experience, and by methods adequate to their subtlety.

In this work, first published in 1899, Bosanquet defined what he believed to be the fundamental ideas behind a true social philosophy. He criticised and interpreted the doctrines of Plato and Aristotle as well as many more contemporary writers, including Hegel, T.H. Green, Bradly and Wallace.

Bosanquet was much influenced by Bradley but the two men were very different. Bradley spent his entire career in his college, neither teaching nor lecturing. Bosanquet, after ten years as an active college tutor, left for London to work in the organization of charities and in adult education, spending only five of his post-Oxford years in an academic post.
Bradley’s metaphysics ended in a kind of nebulously hopeful mysticism, in which reason or the intellect is transcended by something called ‘absolute experience’. Bosanquet had his feet firmly on the ground of the social and cultural life of mankind. Against Bradley’s view that the intellect, the instrument of discursive thought, inevitably misrepresents reality, Bosanquet saw it as the only mode of access to reality.
Thought is not, as in Bradley, doomed to traffic in abstractions. It seeks to apprehend the concrete universal or system. Approximate concrete universal are finite selves and, above them, social and cultural institutions: the state, art, religion and philosophy.
The only true concrete universal is the absolute, the all-inclusive system. The work of thought is to develop the judgements which are its elements into rationally articulated systems. The inferences by which this is brought about are not the "linear inferences’ of formal logic, but spread out in all directions to take in all its conditions so as to reveal the place of the judgement in a comprehensive system.
Every judgement always implicitly refers to reality, so hypothetical judgements embody a categorical assertion about some relation of connectedness. In the same ample spirit he maintains that hypothetical judgements are reciprocal. Less peculiar is his claim that judgement and inference are only superficially distinct: every judgement rests on inference and is the starting-point of further inferences.
Bradley accepted much of Bosanquet’s criticism of his own account of logic with uncharacteristic meekness. Since the person, or finite self, is only an approximation to the true concrete universal it is not wholly real. The absolute is not the God of theism since it is beyond personality.
The finite human self, furthermore, is not the abstract self-sufficient, self-interested individual of traditional liberal and utilitarian doctrine. Human beings are constituted as such by their involvement in society and culture with others. That conception of the essentially social nature of human beings is the basis of Bosanquet’s theory of the state.
He follows Rousseau in taking it to express the real will of its citizens, who are made what they are by membership of it. Compulsion is the essence of the state. Enforcing citizens to obey the law it enables their real natures to overcome their baser impulses.
But a residue of Green's more liberal outlook is present in his view that state’s main task,s the removal of obstacles to human selfperfection. He conceives the state as inevitably national. The human community in general is not sufficiently ‘actual’ to serve as the domain of a single world-state.
Bosanquet’s influence was Host notable in the field of political theory. It came in for severe criticism from L. T. Hobhouse •n 1918 after Hobhouse had lost a son in the war. Hobhouse argues persuasively that Bosanquet fails to distinguish society, which does humanize us, from the state, which has a humbler role.
His larger inquiries contributed to the generally edifying and anti-scientific mood of the age. But while his contemporaries were arguing for various forms of personal idealism against the pure doctrine of Hegel, Bosanquet remained loyal to ‘he old faith.
