Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

""Mr. Sedgewick's Hedonism"" is a philosophical work written by Francis Herbert Bradley in 1877. The book examines the main argument of the ""Methods of Ethics"" by Henry Sidgwick, who was a British philosopher and economist. Sidgwick's ""Methods of Ethics"" is a seminal work in the field of ethics that explores the different approaches to ethical decision-making. Bradley's work focuses specifically on Sidgwick's concept of hedonism, which posits that pleasure is the ultimate goal of human life. Bradley examines the strengths and weaknesses of this argument, and considers whether it is a viable ethical theory. Throughout the book, Bradley engages with Sidgwick's arguments and critiques them in a thoughtful and nuanced way. He also considers other ethical theories and how they compare to hedonism. Overall, ""Mr. Sedgewick's Hedonism"" is a complex and rigorous examination of a key ethical theory. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of ethics and the development of ethical theories.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
