Abstract

F.H. Bradley's Ethical Studies is the most Hegelian of his writings. In his Ethical Studies, he describes a type of perfectionist account of morality that is articulated in terms of the concept of self-realisation. This doctrine is also called the ethics of self- realisation. Bradley’s conception of ‘My station and its Duties’ makes the meaning of self-realisation clear. He holds that each person has a place and function in society; his duties relate to his station in life. He can realize his self only by performing his duties relating to his station in society. According to Bradley, the highest good is self realisation.. Self-realisation is not possible apart from society. He said in his work,’’ ….We have found ourselves when we have found our station and its duties, our function as an organ of the social organism.
