Summary

T.H. Green's Prolegomena to Ethics (1883) is a classic of modern philosophy. It begins with Green's idealist attack on empiricist metaphysics and epistemology, and develops a perfectionist ethical theory that aims to bring together the best elements in the ancient and modern traditions and that provides the moral foundations for Green's own distinctive brand of liberalism. [In this volume], translations are provided for Green's quotations from other languages. Of particular importance is the editor's extended introductory essay, which situates the Prolegomena in its intellectual context, sympathetically but critically engages its main themes and explains Green's enduring significance for the history of philosophy and contemporary ethical theory. [It is for] students and scholars of the history of ethics, ethical theory, political philosophy, and nineteenth-century philosophy.-Back cover.
