Description: Mill's Utilitarianism : A Reader's Guide, Paperback by West, Henry R., ISBN 0826493025, ISBN-13 9780826493026, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Both Bentham and Mill created seminal works in utilitarianism. Both argued that actions, laws and social policies are to be justified by their consequences, with Mill taking the approach that the consequences are rightly happiness and unhappiness. West (philosophy, Macalester College) fleshes out this seminal idea thoroughly, placing the work in its historical and intellectual contexts by describing Mill's life and writings and the contributions of Bentham's philosophy. He provides the alternatives to utilitarianism available at the time and in the present, and gives a concise summary of basic themes. He provides a close reading of the text, making commentary that works directly as well as a cross-reference, and provides notes on reception of Mill's work and its influence on future thought. His list of further reading, which includes secondary material, is precise. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
