Abstract	:	This thesis contributes to the understanding of Ruskin's relationship to nineteenthcenturyscience through the consideration of his specific engagement with Britishpositivism. This engagement is analysed within the context of attempts to determinethe importance of science and art for social progress. The first chapter reads ModernPainters (1843-1860) as a response to John Stuart Mill's System of Logic (1843) andshows that Ruskin's participation in the constitution of Victorian science is greaterthan previously recognized. The second chapter focuses on Ruskin's critique in Untothis Last (1862) of Mill's positivist view of political economy. The third chapterconsiders Frederic Harrison's positivist reading of the social significance of Ruskin'slife in his biography, John Ruskin (1902). The thesis shows that Ruskin's engagementwith positivism is more extensive and more diverse than previously acknowledged.
