Description
John Stuart Mill's Utilitarianism is a foundational work in moral philosophy that explores the idea that all human action should aim to produce the greatest happiness overall. In this volume, Mill defends his utilitarian theory, which distinguishes between 'higher' and 'lower' pleasures.
The text is accompanied by a comprehensive introduction that assesses Mill's philosophy and its alternatives, as well as an analysis of the work itself. This edition uses the 1871 version of Utilitarianism, published during Mill's lifetime, and includes substantial endnotes, suggestions for further reading, and a full bibliography.
This book provides a detailed exploration of one of the most influential philosophical ideas in history, making it a valuable resource for scholars and students of philosophy.
