The volume contains seventeen essays, which appear in parallel English and Italian versions, by leading scholars in the field.

The first volume, which was also distributed to individual subscribers to Utilitas, was entitled Henry Sidgwick: Happiness and Religion, edited by Placido Bucolo, Roger Crisp, and Bart Schultz, and published by the Dipartimento di Scienze Umane di Catania, in 2007.
