GREEN (Thomas Hill).
Lectures on the Principle of Political Obligation. With a Preface by Bernard Bosanquet.
An unfinished, later work by the British idealist philosopher Thomas Hill Green (1836-1882), published posthumously long after his sudden death in 1882, this being the best expression of his mature moral philosophy.
T. H. Green exercised an enormous influence on the development of the late-nineteenth century British philosophy. As a leading proponent of British Idealism and a major critic of the dominant empiricist and utilitarian philosophy of his time, Green attracted a significant following at his lectures in Oxford, where he taught some of the leading philosopher’s of the subsequent generation, including F.H. Bradley and Bernard Bosanquet.
