The Methods of Ethics, Henry Sidgwick's 1874 foundational treatise from Macmillan, is a primary text in ethical philosophy, and Sidgwick was also a founder of the Society for Psychical Research, connecting rigorous ethical philosophy to the era's investigation of psychic claims. Its strength is that it is the primary philosophical text itself, a canonical work in its field. Its limit is that it addresses ethics rather than psychical research directly, so a claim about Sidgwick's own psychical research needs a separate source on that specific work.
