 Leonard Trelawny Hobhouse Biography / Biography of Leonard Trelawny Hobhouse Biography
The English sociologist and philosopher Leonard Trelawny Hobhouse (1864-1929), one of the major theoreticians of liberalism in England before World War I, advocated a modified form of state socialism tempered by traditional liberal principles.
He concluded that a general advance, though erratic and unequal, could be discerned in the forms of human creativity, and that mankind now possessed the ability to organize all of human life according to a rational system which would harmonize the claims and needs of individuals with those of society.
Hobhouse's sociological work is treated in Hugh Carter, The Social Theories of L. Hobhouse (1927), and in an essay in Harry Elmer Barnes, ed., An Introduction to the History of Sociology (1948).

 Sample Chapter for Freeden, M.: Liberal Languages: Ideological Imaginations and Twentieth-Century Progressive Thought.
Two of the central figures of the new liberalism, Leonard Trelawny Hobhouse and John Atkinson Hobson--who figure prominently in the following pages--deserve that salience because they epitomise that ideological turn in their fecund writings and in their innovative methodology.
Aside from some general awareness of Hobhouse as a worthy but secondary figure in the modern liberal canon, there were few accounts, and fewer analyses, of the complex movement of liberalism from an assumedly individualistic, even atomistic, theory of human nature and social structure towards something at the heart of welfare-state thinking.
The ideal society is conceived as a whole which lives and flourishes by the harmonious growth of its parts, each of which in developing on its own lines and in accordance with its own nature tends on the whole to further the development of others.
