T. H. Green: Ethics, Metaphysics, and Political Philosophy by Maria Dimova-Cookson
Recent years have seen a growth of interest in the great English idealist thinker T. H. Green (1836-82) as philosophers have begun to overturn received opinions of his thought and to rediscover his original and important contributions to ethics, metaphysics, and political philosophy. This collection of essays by leading experts, all but one published here for the first time, introduces and critically examines his ideas both in their context and in their relevance to contemporary debates.
The main achievement of the editors and contributors to this well organized book is that of revealing that a philosophy which, like Green's, has usually been remained obscure and difficult to approach, can give fresh stimulus to political and philosophical debates that too often seem to get bogged down in fruitless oppositions which only push away reasonable solutionsBy reading this book, anyone who is interested in current debates would have the possibility of being surprised by a philosopher who for so long has been unfairly undervalued and stereotyped. * Alberto de Sanctis, The Journal of Value Inquiry *
T. H. Green represents a wonderful advance in our knowledge of Green's work and its contemporary significance...I congratulate the editors and their authors for producing such a terrific collection that will help clearly establish the very high standard of scholarship on Green's work. I recommend this enthusiastically to anyone with an interest in metaphysics and ethics broadly conceived. * Thom Brooks, Political Studies Review *
The essays in this book exhibit a commendably high level of scholarship. They are written by an accomplished group of thinkers (some of them well-known and well-established and some of them relatively new and worth keeping in view). For persons interested in the history of recent ethics, in T. H. Green in particular, and in the continuing relevance of his political and ethical views, it will prove a valuable addition to the literature. * Rex Martin, Mind Journal *
the papers in this volume reflect and contribute to the current rehabilitation of Green's philosophy. Their most important contribution is to confront the difficulties in Green's philosophy. They do this by showing that his metaphysics can either be defended or detached from his moral and political philosophy and that both his moral and his political philosophy have much to contribute to contemporary debate. * James W. Allard, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
