Henry Jones and the Idea of a League of Learning

Henry Jones, considered a marginal figure within the British idealism movement, whose thought is often associated with a form of radical Hegelianism, offers numerous innovative points of reflection regarding a multitude of issues, foremost among them being his project to create a League of Learning to accompany the much better-known League of Nations. This project, although it will never be realized, represents a unique aspect in the history of political thought, just as Jones's reflections towards the actions of the British Labour Party and the state of democracy during the period of the two World Wars.
