Schultz's Sidgwick (original) (raw)

Utilitas, 2007

Abstract

Bart Schultz'sHenry Sidgwick: Eye of the Universeis a welcome addition to the growing literature on Sidgwick. In this article, I direct my attention for the most part to one aspect of what Schultz says about Sidgwick's masterpiece,The Methods of Ethics, as well as to what he does not say about Sidgwick's illuminating but neglected workPractical Ethics. This article is divided into three sections. In the first, I argue that there is a problem with Schultz's endorsement of the view that Sidgwick's moral epistemology combines elements of both coherentism and foundationalism. In the second, I argue that Schultz has failed to do justice to Sidgwick's mature views inPractical Ethics. In the final section, I briefly say something about Schultz's suggestion that Sidgwick succumbed to both racism and dishonesty.
