A review by jbryson
Utilitarianism by John Stuart Mill

4.0

It should go without saying that this book is a must read for any student of philosophical ethics. Having said that, Mill's argument is significantly tautological. He uses several false comparisons in disputing objections to the utilitarianism, including an ad hominem attack on some of its detractors. One wonders if he is referring to Charles Dickens in these attacks.
