Utilitarianism Mill, John Stuart and Acton, Harry Burrows

Mill's Utilitarianism remains one of philosophy's most accessible and influential works – a spirited defence of the 'greatest happiness principle' that still sparks debate in lecture halls and living rooms alike. This edition features Harry Burrows Acton's insightful introduction, helping guide you through Mill's arguments about pleasure, virtue, and what makes a life truly worth living. Written with remarkable clarity for a 19th-century text, Mill tackles the big questions: How should we act? What makes something right or wrong? Perfect for philosophy students, armchair ethicists, or anyone who's ever argued about the trolley problem at a dinner party.
