Walter asks re Henry Sidgwick's disagreement with Kant
Does anyone know where Sidgwick develops this criticism? Is the
criticism valid?
It's mentioned in the Stanford Encyclopedia entry on Sidgwick.
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/sidgwick/
The article has an extensive bibliography.
Didn't Bernard Williams also have a similar criticism of Kant's moral theory?
Williams, Bernard, 1982, ?The Point of View of the Universe: Sidgwick
and the Ambitions of Ethics," The Cambridge Review, 7 May 1982;
reprinted in Williams' Making Sense of Humanity and Other
Philosophical Essays, 1982-1993, Cambridge, 1995.
When I was growing up, everybody talked about Sidgwick, but nobody
ever said anything about him.
