Böcker av Henry Sidgwick

Written by Cambridge philosopher and economist Henry Sidgwick (1838-1900), this work defends the utilitarian convictions of John Stuart Mill against a newer, more radical generation of economic philosophers. The book was first published in 1883; the second edition, reissued here, was published in 1887.

This volume reintroduces the work of English philosopher and educator Henry Sidgwick (1838-1900). First published in 1898, it collects nine essays in which Sidgwick discusses ethical issues including the use of animals in research and whether public officials may ever be justified in lying.
