5. 5. The internal consistency of Mill's various writings is a matter of much scholarly debate. One school, which includes John Plamenatz, sees Mill as muddled and riddled with inconsistencies - within as well as between works. See his The English Utilitarians, 2nd ed., Oxford, 1958. Able - and in my judgment convincing - arguments for the essential coherence and internal consistency of the various aspects of Mill's social thought can be found in Thompson, D.F. John Stuart Mill and Representative Government, Princeton, 1976, and Duncan, G. Marx and Mill : Two Views of Social Conflict and Social Harmony, Cambridge, England, 1973.
