Description: This paper explores the imperial understandings of colonial rule at the end of the nineteenth century in the Straits Settlements consisting principally of Singapore, Penang and Malacca. The vehicle for this exploration is the Straits Philosophical Association, an organisation comprising a significant a cross-section of the Straits colonial elite that met regularly to present and discuss essays on matters of wide-ranging philosophical interest. The paper explores the ways in which members of the SPS understood the intersection of liberal principles and colonial rule. The focus is with exploring the elite’s understanding of the rationalities of colonial government, and hence how they understood, constructed and contributed to those rationalities.
