Mill and Sidgwick, Imperialism
and Racism
B A R T S C H U LT Z
University of Chicago
This essay is in effect something of a self-review of my book Henry Sidgwick: Eye of the
Universe (2004) and of the volume, co-edited with Georgios Varouxakis, Utilitarianism
and Empire (2005). My chief concern here is to go beyond those earlier works
in underscoring the arbitrariness of the dominant contextualist and reconstructive
historical accounts of J. S. Mill and Henry Sidgwick on the subjects of race and racism.
The forms of racism are many, and simple historical accuracy suggests that both Mill
and Sidgwick could be described as ‘racist’ on some plausible understandings of that
term.
In politics, all abstract terms conceal treachery.
C. L. R. James, The Black Jacobins
To prove a negative, the argument must be capable of being expressed in this
form:–
No one who is capable of self-control is necessarily vicious;

All negroes
Some negroes are capable of self-control;

Mr. A s negro
therefore

⎬
No negroes are
Some negroes are not necessarily vicious
Mr. A’s negro is not ⎭
John Stuart Mill, A System of Logic

I would like to begin this essay with some designedly naıve remarks
about the construction of philosophical heroes versus philosophical
villains, remarks that will help define the opposing poles in more or less
current philosophical receptions and reconstructions of the work of
John Stuart Mill and Henry Sidgwick. Perhaps it is especially appro-
priate, at this bicentennial moment, to engage in some such reflection
on what is living and what is
