Reviews

"An original and first-rate contribution to a growing body of scholarship on this important Victorian era British philosopher.... There is no denying that this volume makes the best overall case for why we should take the philosophy of Thomas Hill Green seriously. I strongly recommend this book."--Derrick Darby, Ethics
