Unknown Author

4.9/5 (30490 ratings)

Description:John Stuart Mill’s Utilitarianism is a philosophical defense of utilitarianism, a moral theory stating that right actions are those that tend to promote overall happiness. The essay first appeared as a series of articles published in Fraser’s Magazine in 1861; the articles were collected and reprinted as a single book in 1863. Mill discusses 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.In this Broadview Edition, Colin Heydt provides a substantial introduction that will enable readers to understand better the polemical context for Utilitarianism. Heydt shows, for example, how Mill’s moral philosophy grew out of political engagement, rather than exclusively out of a speculative interest in determining the nature of morality. Appendices include precedents to Mill’s work, reactions to Utilitarianism, and related writings by Mill.Please note: Broadview offers two separate editions of Utilitarianism. The Heydt edition offers a substantial amount of appendix material, including excerpts from related works by Mill, precedents to Mill’s writing, and critical reactions to Utilitarianism, well-suited to an in-depth study of the text. The Bailey edition is shorter and slightly less expensive, and includes an introduction focused on Mill’s biography and contextual information for the student reader (as well as a single appendix from the writing of Jeremy Bentham).We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
