ABSTRACT
Along with F.H.Bradley (chapter 15), T.H.Green and Bernard Bosanquet were the chief figures in what is commonly called British idealism. Bradley is widely regarded as the most eminent philosopher of the three; his Ethical Studies, published in 1876, was the first in-depth presentation of idealist ethics, including an account of the individual’s relation to society (Nicholson, [14.45], 6). But after this initial work, Bradley had little more to say about ethics;1 the development of the moral, and especially the political, philosophy of British idealism was carried on by Green and his followers, particularly Bosanquet.
