Description
John Stuart Mill's Utilitarianism is a philosophical defence of utilitarianism, a moral theory stating that right actions are those that tend to promote overall happiness. First published as a series of articles in Fraser's Magazine in 1861, the essays were later collected and reprinted as a single book in 1863.
Mill explores utilitarianism in some of his other works, including On Liberty and The Subjection of Women, but Utilitarianism contains his only sustained defence of the theory. This Broadview Edition features a substantial introduction by Colin Heydt, which provides context for Mill's moral philosophy and its development from political engagement.
The edition includes appendices with precedents to Mill's work, reactions to Utilitarianism, and related writings by Mill, offering readers a comprehensive understanding of this influential philosophical text.
