This Hackett edition, first published in 1981, is an unabridged and
unaltered republication of the seventh (1907) edition as published
by Macmillan and Company, Limited. From the forward by John Rawls:
In the utilitarian tradition Henry Sidgwick (1838-1900) has an
important place. His fundamental work, The Methods of Ethics (first
edition 1874, seventh and last edition 1907, here reprinted), is
the clearest and most accessible formulation of what we may call
'the classical utilitarian doctorine.' This classical doctrine
holds that the ultimate moral end of social and individual action
is the greatest net sum of the happiness of all sentient beings.
Happinesss is specified (as positive or negative) by the net
balance of pleasure over pain, or, as Sidgwick preferred to say, as
the net balance of agreeable over disagreeable consciousness. . . .
