This work combines two early pamphlets by F. H. Bradley
(1846-1924), the foremost philosopher of the British Idealist
movement. The first essay, published in 1874, deals with the nature
of professional history, and foreshadows some of Bradley's later
ideas in metaphysics. He argues that history cannot be subjected to
scientific scrutiny because it is not directly available to the
senses, meaning that all history writing is inevitably subjective.
Though not widely discussed at the time of publication, the
pamphlet was influential on historian and philosopher R. G.
Collingwood. The second pamphlet is Bradley's critique of Henry
Sidgwick's The Methods of Ethics. Sidgwick was the first to propose
the paradox of hedonism, which is the idea in ethics that pleasure
can only be acquired indirectly. Published in 1877, this work is
divided into three parts, treating Sidgwick's definitions,
arguments, and his view of ethical science.
