The most important work by the British idealist philosopher Thomas Hill Green (1836-1882), published posthumously under the editorship of A.C. Bradley, largely compiled from Green's Oxford professorial lecture notes and articles published in the journal Mind.

T. H. Green exercised an enormous influence on the development of the late-nineteenth century British philosophy. As a leading proponent of British Idealism and a major critic of the dominant empiricist and utilitarian philosophy of his time, Green attracted a significant following at his lectures in Oxford, where he taught some of the leading philosopher's of the subsequent generation, including F.H. Bradley and Bernard Bosanquet.
