Lectures on the Ethics of T. H. Green, MR Herbert Spencer, and J. Martineau

The book offers a critical analysis of various philosophical movements that arose as alternatives to utilitarianism following the release of Sidgwick's earlier work, The Methods of Ethics. It delves into the strengths and weaknesses of these competing theories, exploring their implications for ethical reasoning and moral philosophy. Sidgwick's insights aim to clarify the landscape of ethical thought in the early 20th century, making it a significant contribution to philosophical discourse on morality and ethics.
