Trade Review
A beautifully written and expertly curated aid to studying Henry Sidgwick's The Methods of Ethics...Phillips covers Sidgwick's non-naturalist meta-ethics, his intuitionist epistemology, his argument for utilitarianism and for hedonism, his dismissal of common-sense morality, and his dualism of practical reason...In every case, Phillips's discussions are excellent. * Anthony Skelton, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
David Phillips's guide is not just the latest, it is one of the best. * Choice *
