Henry Sidgwick's The Methods of Ethics has been a central part of
the utilitarian canon since its publication in 1874. This book,
part of the Oxford Guides to Philosophy series, is a concise
companion to Sidgwick's masterpiece, written primarily to aid
advanced undergraduate students and interested general readers in
navigating and interpreting the original text. Author David
Phillips connects Sidgwick's work to work in contemporary moral
philosophy and in the history of moral philosophy, paying
particular attention to his relationships with key predecessors,
including Kant and Mill, and with Moore and Ross, his most
influential successors in the British intuitionist tradition. The
book's first eight chapters end with brief suggestions for further
reading. At the end of the final three chapters there are more
substantial overviews of the secondary literature on the aspects of
Sidgwick's work that have generated the most interest among his
commentators: metaethics and moral epistemology; consequentialism
versus deontology; and egoism and the dualism of practical reason.
The result is an Oxford Guide that will be a helpful resource for
both students and scholars.A
