A review by josiahrichardson
Utilitarianism by John Stuart Mill
4.0
Well written and a good argument for utilitarianism. But the question often asked is "What compels me to live in a utilitarian manner" that is answered by Mill with "Because of the utility of the thing" is highly unsatisfactory. If the standard is utility, it may be in my best interest not to offer that utility to others, or, to not care about the utility of the thing as well. There's an objective standard out there, and this ain't it, chief.
