Henry West has written the most up-to-date and user-friendly introduction to utilitarianism available. The book serves as both a commentary to and interpretation of the text. It also defends Mill against his critics. An appendix reviews in detail the structure and arguments of Utilitarianism. This book is primarily intended as a textbook for students in philosophy assigned to read Utilitarianism but it should also prove helpful to students and professionals in other fields such as political science, history and economics. 606 $aEthics, Modern$y19th century 606 $aUtilitarianism 615 0$aEthics, Modern 615 0$aUtilitarianism. 676 $a171/.5/092 700 $aWest$b Henry R.$f1933-$0900458 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457887303321 996 $aAn introduction to Mill's utilitarian ethics$92475155 997 $aUNINA
