The moral agent

Bradley's critique of Hegel's evolutionary ethics

Anthony O. Echekwube

pp. 43-53

Abstract

A chapter of a book is barely sufficient to provide comprehensive and comparative analysis of the place of the subject in the moral philosophy of two of the most important figures in modern philosophy. So, it is important to note from the outset that what is attempted here is only a concise yet explicit analysis. Such a task is however a daunting one. I begin by summarizing the basic difference in Hegel and Bradley's treatment of the modern subject that necessitates the conclusions reached in this chapter.
