The Methods of Ethics
Henry Sidgwick
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.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
