Description: A team of eminent contemporary philosophers present the first collective study of seminal British moral thinkers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Some, like Henry Sidgwick and G. E. Moore, are already recognized as leading philosophers of their day; others, like Hastings Rashdall and A.C. Ewing, are unjustly neglected.
Review Quotes: "Worthy of honorable mention is Roger Crisp's chapter on Sidgwick's Hedonism. It matches careful exegesis with an interesting analysis of the strengths (and weaknesses) of the hedonistic position... All in all, Hurka's book is enjoyable, and all of the articles are valuable in some way (as might be expected from such a distinguished group of scholars). The chapters are well-edited, and the topic is both important and under-examined. Historians of this period and anyone interested in Ethical Intuitionism will find this work to be highly valuable." --Mind
