Essays on Ethics and Method is 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; this new volume is a fascinating complement to it.
These essays develop further Sidgwick's ethical ideas, respond to
criticism of the Methods, and discuss rival theories. Other aspects
of Sidgwick's thought are also illuminated, in particular his
interests in method, verification, and proof. The essays show
Sidgwick to be a forerunner of twentieth-century analytical
philosophy: they illustrate his emphasis on common sense and
ordinary language, and exemplify not only his care, clarity, and
precision, but also the wit and humour that are not prominent in
his longer works. Marcus Singer provides a substantial editorial
introduction to Sidgwick and his intellectual context. The volume
will be a rich resource for anyone interested in moral philosophy
or the development of modern analytical philosophy.
