While this reminder about the importance of the later essays guards against a serious misreading of the arguments of Ethical Studies, it invites a different error by suggesting that Bradley is attempting to identify the supreme moral principle that should guide human choices and actions. Now, for Sidgwick that is the whole point of moral philosophy and he criticizes Green’s claim that the end of action is self-realization on the grounds that this notion is simply too general and vague to be practically useful in informing us about what we should do in any given circumstance; and because of this indeterminacy Sidgwick rejects it as a possible expression of the supreme moral end.  (Of course, a plurality of irreducible ultimate principles also leaves us with no clear direction and his finding two such principles is what leads to the failure of Sidgwick’s own theory.)  By contrast, it is crucial to recognize that Bradley is not engaged in, or much interested in, this sort of enterprise. Rather, he wants to understand the moral perspective and the nature of moral agents and also to uncover the logical structure of deliberation and choice.
