 Bosanquet’s lectures and essays on social topics deal not only with general concerns on the role of social institutions and the state in promoting the good life, but on specific questions dealing with social reform. Many of these essays were published in the Charity Organisation Review, but several were of a broad interest and appeared in leading philosophical and sociological journals and books. In Essays and Addresses (1889), Bosanquet advances an “ideal of modern life” which he calls “Christian Hellenism”. There, in an essay entitled “The Kingdom of God on Earth”, he gives an analysis of the relation between the human individual and the community that was taken up later in his political philosophy.
