About this title

Synopsis

John Stuart Mill's Utilitarianism is one of the most important, controversial & suggestive works of moral philosophy ever written. He defends the view that all human action should produce the greatest happiness overall & that happiness itself is to be understood as consisting in 'higher' & 'lower' pleasures. This volume uses the 1871 edition of the text, the last to be published in his lifetime. The text is preceded by a comprehensive introduction assessing Mill's philosophy & the alternatives to utilitarianism & discussing some of the specific issues he raises in Utilitarianism. This volume also includes an analysis of the text, substantial endnotes, suggestions for further reading & a full bibliography.
