John Stuart Mill Moral, Social, and Political

This book offers a clear and highly readable introduction to the ethical and social-political philosophy of John Stuart Mill. Mill's views on liberty and utilitarianism have been hugely influential in political and philosophical thinking since the mid-nineteenth century, but his theories have often been criticized for allowing for the well-being of some to be entirely sacrificed for the sake of the 'greater good'.

Dale E. Miller is an Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Old Dominion University, USA
