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.
This collection investigates the enduring relevance of T. H. Green’s philosophical framework by re-evaluating his contributions to ethics, metaphysics, and political theory. Editors Maria Dimova-Cookson and W. J. Mander assemble a series of essays from prominent scholars to challenge historical misconceptions regarding Green’s work. By situating his ideas within their nineteenth-century context while testing their utility against modern philosophical problems, the contributors provide a rigorous reassessment of his intellectual legacy.
