Hegelian Ethics by W H Walsh
This examination of Hegelian ethics is based on a comparison with that of Kant. The book contrasts their methods, the scope of their ethical theories, and their views as to the content of ethics. It concludes that, while Hegel worked with a moral psychology very different to Kant's, his ethical theory should not be dismissed for that reason. The author explains how Hegel sought in his own ethical theory to overcome the deficiencies of Kantian ethics, first in his early writings through the notion of a morality of love, and then in his mature system by means of the conception of "concrete ethhics" (sittlichkeit). The study concludes with a brief account of the ethical doctrines of Hegel's English followers, Green, Bradley, and Bosenquet.
