	Henry Sidgwick's The Methods of Ethics
		Henry Sidgwick’s The Methods of Ethics (1874) is an examination of the relations between three basic methods of ethics (Egoistic Hedonism, Intuitionism, and Universalistic Hedonism), and is a philosophical inquiry which is aimed at defining the extent to which these methods may be compatible or incompatible.
		Sidgwick distinguishes between ethics and politics as practical disciplines, in that ethics is concerned with what is proper for each individual, while politics is concerned with what is proper for society.
		Sidgwick argues that Kant’s interpretation of Free Will is ambiguous in its conclusions as to whether 'rational' freedom is the same as, or different from, 'moral' freedom, and that this ambiguity is also present in Kant’s concept of the autonomy and heteronomy of the Will.

		When Henry Sidgwick arrived at Cambridge from Rugby in 1855, he was a star pupil in classics and a devout Anglican.
		Sidgwick's reasoning was utilitarian (he found no clear guidance from common-sense morality) -- the bad effects of hypocritical subscription outweigh the good effects of retaining within the Church or University those intelligent enough to have doubts.
		For example, Sidgwick opposed pressing for the degree in 1887 because he did not want women forced into taking the fourth-term Greek and Latin exam, required for men, that he thought was a bad requirement on anyone, and because he thought pressing would both fail and provoke a backlash against the gains already made.

		Sidgwick came to think that intuitions had to be invoked as the rational ground of fundamental principles.
		Moreover, he went beyond Mill in arguing that many of the common-sense moral rules that the intuitionists sought to refine and defend - for example, that promises ought to be kept - could be defended as by and large conducing to the greatest happiness, at least for the ordinary purposes of ordinary people.
