 | | Blackburn has provided a substantial Epilogue surverying, in a historical context, the changed istuation in religion, education, Parliament, the press, science, and in society generally. |
 | | Bury traces the political, social, religious, and cultural obstacles Western society has placed in the way of freedom of thought from ancient Greece and Rome until the nineteenth century, then presents his justification for intellectual liberty. |
 | | Drawing from rationalism and J.S. Mills' utilitarianism, Bury concludes that allowing the greatest latitude for freedom of thought, "the axiom of human progress," is by far the best and most beneficial arrangement for individual and society. |
