Opis

Recent years have seen a growth of interest in the great English idealist thinker T. H. Green (1836-82) as philosophers have begun to overturn received opinions of his thought and to rediscover his original and important contributions to ethics, metaphysics, and political philosophy. This collection of essays by leading experts, all but one published here for the first time, introduces and critically examines his ideas both in their context and in their relevance to contemporary debates.

Recenzje

the papers in this volume reflect and contribute to the current rehabilitation of Green's philosophy. Their most important contribution is to confront the difficulties in Green's philosophy. They do this by showing that his metaphysics can either be defended or detached from his moral and political philosophy and that both his moral and his political philosophy have much to contribute to contemporary debate.
