Abstract
A través del ejemplo de su tratamiento de la cuestión agraria, en este artículo se muestra que John Stuart Mill, tras aceptar la validez científica de un sistema coherente en su juventud, no fue capaz de ver la línea de demarcación que hubiera permitido mantener esa coherencia ante las tensiones teóricas y prácticas. En principio, se basó en teorías individualistas; finalmente, adoptó no sólo el socialismo, sino una versión de socialismo abierta a las objeciones en que él mismo insistió a lo largo de su obra. Toda la teoría de Mill iba dirigida a transformar las instituciones para lograr un final utópico que se situaría en el estado estacionario, pero, para lograr eso, Mill se dio cuenta de que habría que modificar “los hábitos”, y el Estado sólo puede modificar esos hábitos a través del autoritarismo.
This article focuses on John Stuart Mill’s treatment of the agrarian question. It proves that, after having accepted the scientific validity of a coherent system in his youth, Mill could not set a demarcation line to maintain this coherence through theoretical and practical tensions. In principle, Mill was based on individualistic theories; finally, not only he adopted socialism, but a version of socialism open to the same objections on which he had so insisted along his work. The whole Mill’s theory was designed to transform institutions so as to achieve a Utopian end in the stationary state, but, to achieve that state, Mill realized that it was necessary to modify people “habits”… and State can only modify habits through authoritarianism.
