Summary:

A team of eminent contemporary philosophers present the first collective study of seminal British moral thinkers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Some, like Henry Sidgwick and G.E. Moore, are already recognised as leading philosophers of their day. Others, like Hastings Rashdall and A.C. Ewing, are unjustly neglected.
