This is a Japanese translation of nineteenth-century British philosopher Henry Sidgwick's article"The Theory of Evolution in Its Application to Practice,"published in the first issue of journal Mind in 1876.This translation could be of significance to Japanese readers at least in two points :(1)since Sidgwick is relatively unknown in Japan despite his importance in the history of Western philosophy,this translation may contribute to enhance his recognition in Japan ; (2)precisely understanding and overcoming his negative views on normative evolutionary ethics may serve to further develop the study of evolutionary ethics in twenty-first-century Japan.
