It has been seen as Rashdall's most important philosophical work. Rashdall's work has been compared to that of the philosopher G. E. Moore. Summary{{expand section|date=November 2018}}The Theory of Good and Evil is dedicated to the philosophers Thomas Hill Green and Henry Sidgwick. In the work, Rashdall discusses ethics. Subjects addressed include utilitarianism, the work of the philosopher G. E. Moore, including Principia Ethica (1903), the work of F. H. Bradley, and Christian theology.{{sfn|Rashdall|2004|pages=v–vii}} In his second volume, he deals with potential objections to his views.{{sfn|Rashdall|2004|pages=iii, 1, 83, 287, 311}} Publication historyThe Theory of Good and Evil was first published by the Clarendon Press in 1907. In 2004, it was republished by Elibron Classics.{{sfn|Rashdall|2004|page=ii}} ReceptionAcademic journalsThe Theory of Good and Evil was discussed by Daniel Shannon in Saint Anselm Journal. Shannon described the book as Rashdall's best known work, but criticized Rashdall's evaluation of Christian theology.{{sfn|Shannon|2009|pages=1–19}} Evaluations in booksThe philosopher Richard Wollheim described The Theory of Good and Evil as "a compendious work marred by priggishness" in F. H. Bradley (1969).{{sfn|Wollheim|1969|page=271}} The philosopher John Rawls compared Rashdall's ethical views to those of Moore, writing in A Theory of Justice (1971) that the position that the capacity for a higher life may be grounds for treating men unequally is implicit in Principia Ethica.{{sfn|Rawls|1999|page=287}} James W. Allard described The Theory of Good and Evil as Rashdall's most important philosophical work in The Cambridge Dictionary of Philosophy (1999).{{sfn|Allard|1999|page=771}} R. S. Downie considered Rashdall's dedication of The Theory of Good and Evil to Green and Sidgwick appropriate, noting in The Oxford Companion to Philosophy (2005) that Rashdall was indebted to both philosophers. He suggested that Rashdall had been "unfairly eclipsed as a moral philosopher" by Moore.{{sfn|Downie|2005|page=782}} See also
