Excerpt from The Ethical Philosophy of Sidgwick: Nine Essays, Critical and Expository
The following dissertation was written by the author when an "Advanced Student" in the University of Cambridge, and was accepted by the University in June, 1901, as an "original contribution to learning." It was, therefore, in no sense written for the elementary student of ethics. There is, however, some ground for believing that it may prove of assistance to such a student, and with this object, among others, in view, it has been published in book form.
The neophyte in ethics generally avoids the Methods, for the work has a not undeserved reputation for difficulty. Even those students who have the temerity to commence its serious perusal often become rapidly discouraged and fly to text-books of a more popular type. The reasons for this are not hard to find, and some of them will be referred to at greater length in the course of the dissertation.
