Book synopsis

This volume reintroduces the work of English philosopher and educator Henry Sidgwick (1838-1900), whose work is out of copyright. First published in 1898, it collects nine essays in which Sidgwick discusses such issues as: when public officials might be justified in lying or breaking promises; whether scientists may legitimately inflict suffering on animals for research purposes; and a score of other problems in practical ethics. Noted ethicist Sissela Bok has contributed a foreword to the volume, arguing for the book's continuing relevance to contemporary debates.
