The Methods of Ethics
Henry Sidgwick
798 pages~15 hr 55 min read52 chaptersFree this month
Three methods claim to guide conduct: egoism, intuitionism, utilitarianism. Sidgwick spends the greatest ethical treatise of his century testing them against one another, with famous chapters on pleasure and desire, free will, and the dualism he could never resolve. Philosophy's gold standard of honesty and rigor. The masterpiece serious readers graduate to.
Includes read-aloud narration with live word highlighting.
