Opis

This volume provides a selection of the shorter writings of the great nineteenth-century moral philosopher Henry Sidgwick. Sidgwick's monumental work The Methods of Ethics is a classic of philosophy, and this new volume is a fascinating complement to it. It will be a rich resource for anyone interested in moral philosophy or the development of modern analytical philosophy.

Recenzje

A hundred years after his death, Singer's volume demonstrates that Sidgwick continues to provide an exemplary model of the philosophical search for clarity, and of the openness to the thought of others required for the avoidance of dogmatism.
