Abstract
T. H. Green has become something of a neglected figure among American political theorists, perhaps because his focus on the social character of man is not altogether compatible with some of the more extreme versions of liberal individualism now in vogue. This article examines Green's conception of moral progress and the ways in which he thought political institutions and political activity contribute to it. The author argues that Green's theory of moral progress is ultimately unsatisfactory, but does help to illuminate his political philosophy by underscoring his gradualist and cautious view of the role of politics in promoting the "moralisation" of individuals.
