ABSTRACT
T. H. Green died suddenly, weeks before his forty-sixth birthday. He left no autobiography to help people trace his intellectual debts, and they have to rely on the evidence of his writings together with the recollections of his friends. Consequently it is impossible to be certain how much of any particular author Green read. In attempting to assess the extent of Green's knowledge of G. W. F. Hegel, the best starting point is his friendship with Benjamin Jowett. Jowett was Green's tutor at Balliol in his undergraduate years, and then his senior colleague throughout Green's career in the College. It can be argued, then, that Green draws substantially and significantly upon Hegel. Of course, Hegel was not the only source on which Green drew. The reason for stressing Green's elevation of personal worth as the ultimate standard would be to urge that this separates him from Hegel.
