About This Item
Originally published as three essays in Fraser's Magazine in 1861, this is the first appearance of this important work in book form. Parker, Son and Bourn, 1863. Original cloth. Backstrip is missing, corners are worn, hinges are cracked and fragile but boards are still attached, binding is a little weak but no loose pages, text is unmarked. Previous owners' names on title page and front endpage, mostly in pencil but one in ink. See photos. An excellent candidate for restoration.
Synopsis
Utilitarianism is philosopher John Stuart Mill's defense and advocacy of utilitarian ethics. First appearing in three magazine articles, this essay was first gathered into a single book in 1863. While Mill discusses utilitarian ethical principles in some of his other writings such as On Liberty and The Subjection of Women, Utilitarianism is Mill's only major discussion of the theory's fundamental grounds.
