Description

Henry Sidgwick (1838-1900), English philosopher and educator, is today most famous for his "Methods of Ethics", first published in 1874, and considered by C.D. Broad among others to be the greatest single work on ethics in English. Besides philosophy, Sidgwick wrote on education, political theory, the history of political institutions and psychical research. He was also active in university politics, economics and administration, playing a large part in the founding of the first college for women, Newnham College, Oxford. In common with Mill, Sidgwick was opposed to mystical and transcendental methods. This collection brings together the most definitive editions of all his books and includes the standard biography written by his wife, as well as two volumes of previously uncollected essays and reviews.
