According to Sidgwick, ethical judgments are, primarily, judgments about the right actions, or actions which ought to be done. Therefore, it is essential for students of ethics to understand the meanings of the terms ‘right’ and ‘ought’. At the same time, the notion of ‘good’ also plays an important role in ethics.
