    The Principles of Political Economy.Henry Sidgwick - 2011 - Cambridge University Press.
    Henry Sidgwick,, philosopher, classicist, lecturer and fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, and supporter of women's university education, is well known for his Method of Ethics, a significant and influential book on moral theory. First published in 1883, this work considers the role the state plays in economic life, and whether economics should be considered an Art or a Science. Sidgwick applies his utilitarian views to economics, defending John Stuart Mill's 1848 treatise of the same name. The book calls for a (...)

    This book is a reissue of a long-unavailable work by the English philosopher and educator Henry Sidgwick. 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, along with a score of other problems in practical ethics. The noted ethicist Sissela Bok has contributed a Foreword to this reissue, arguing for the book's continuing relevance (...)

As a précis of the comprehensive treatment of utilitarianism that would soon appear in The Methods of Ethics, this essay should serve as a useful guide to that work.

    This piece, which was revised greatly subsequent to the publication of the Methods of Ethics, appears in this collection in its original form. In it, Sidgwick distinguishes between Universal Hedonism and Egoistic Hedonism, the former espoused by Bentham, who nonetheless approves of individual self‐interest, which he regards as inevitable. Mill attempts to forge a connection between the psychological and ethical principles that he and Bentham share, maintaining that, since each person seeks her own happiness, she ought to seek the happiness (...)

    Verification of Beliefs.Henry Sidgwick - 2000 - In Marcus G. Singer, Essays on Ethics and Method. Oxford, GB: Clarendon Press.
    Sidgwick offers an account of how to verify our beliefs, both factual and normative. He maintains that, although utter scepticism cannot be confuted, it also cannot be defended because, as soon as the sceptic tries to justify himself, he invariably limits himself by assuming the truth of certain premises and the validity of a particular method of inference. If it is possible to establish a criterion of truth for a given domain, then within that domain we may possess a set (...)

    Bentham and Benthamism in Politics and Ethics.Henry Sidgwick - 2000 - In Marcus G. Singer, Essays on Ethics and Method. Oxford, GB: Clarendon Press.
    While Sidgwick praises Leslie Stephen's critical account of 18th century English philosophy, he regrets the brevity of Stephen's treatment of Bentham and Benthamism. This essay is his effort to provide a more substantial account of Bentham's contribution. Sidgwick observes that Bentham's originality and importance lay, not so much in his adoption of utility as an end and as a standard of right action, but in his exclusion of any other standard. Sidgwick devotes much of the article to discussing both the (...)

    Further on the Criteria of Truth and Error.Henry Sidgwick - 2000 - In Marcus G. Singer, Essays on Ethics and Method. Oxford, GB: Clarendon Press.
    Originally written as an appendix to ‘Criteria of Truth and Error’, this piece provides Sidgwick's positive argument regarding the problem of truth and falsehood. Turning away from purportedly infallible criteria of truth, Sidgwick considers various methods of verification. He moves from the search for an absolute test of truth to the more modest search for a way of excluding error. The Intuitive Verification cannot be relied upon alone, and so must be supplemented by the Discursive Verification. The latter aims to (...)

    Fitzjames Stephen on Mill on Liberty.Henry Sidgwick - 2000 - In Marcus G. Singer, Essays on Ethics and Method. Oxford, GB: Clarendon Press.
    Sidgwick offers a largely unflattering review of Fitzjames Stephen's critique of Mill's On Liberty. Sidgwick observes that, when discussing the legitimate influence of society over the individual, Stephen directs his argument against Mill and Comtism in turn, without seeming to notice that these thinkers hold opposing views on the issue. As a consequence, this generates inconsistencies in his position. Yet, despite the significant amount of wilful paradox and misplaced ingenuity in his work, Stephen does highlight the right arguments to challenge (...)

    Grote on Utilitarianism I.Henry Sidgwick - 2000 - In Marcus G. Singer, Essays on Ethics and Method. Oxford, GB: Clarendon Press.
    In this chapter and the next, Sidgwick engages in a detailed analysis of the views of his teacher John Grote as presented in The Examination of the Utilitarian Philosophy. According to Sidgwick, Grote's work lacks those explicit principles and exact methods found in a systematic approach. Yet, it offers some valuable criticisms of Mill. The first criticism targets Mill's introduction of qualitative distinctions between pleasures, and holds that either this qualitative distinction must be resolvable into a quantitative one or pure (...)

    Grote on Utilitarianism II.Henry Sidgwick - 2000 - In Marcus G. Singer, Essays on Ethics and Method. Oxford, GB: Clarendon Press.
    As in the preceding chapter, Sidgwick attempts to highlight some difficulties in the views of his Cambridge teacher John Grote. Although Grote has a keen insight, says Sidgwick, into the human element of a philosophy, he is a poor analyst of systems and methods at the abstract level. The value in Grote's work lies in his detailed presentation of two important critiques of Mill. First, he argues convincingly that Mill's qualitative distinction between pleasures either is reducible to a quantitative distinction (...)

    In this chapter, first published in The Elements of Politics, Sidgwick outlines his conception of positive morality, that is, the commonsense morality generally accepted within a society. He then examines the relation between positive morality and positive law because the moral opinions and sentiments prevalent in a society largely determine how the government ought to act. One difference between legal rules and moral rules, highlighted by Bentham and Austin, is that, whereas the government either directly or indirectly represses a violation (...)

    Sidgwick reviews what he regards as a thorough, but ultimately unsuccessful, attempt by Leslie Stephen to establish an ethical doctrine that aligns with the theory of evolution. Stephen engages in discussions that fall under three categories. The first is subjective psychology; Stephen analyses from the individual's perspective the kind of consciousness that precedes and determines volition. The second is sociology; his aim here is to develop a positive morality understood as a property of the social organism. The third kind of (...)
