Utilitarianism (Second Edition)
Utilitarianism (Second Edition) | John Stuart Mill, George Sher
1 post | 1 read
This expanded edition of John Stuart Mills Utilitarianism includes the text of his 1868 speech to the British House of Commons defending the use of capital punishment in cases of aggravated murder. The speech is significant both because its topic remains timely and because its arguments illustrate the applicability of the principle of utility to questions of large-scale social policy.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Such an eloquent defense of utilitarianism. So refreshing to read a way of speaking from another time.
This book, while short in length, is long in thought. Mill forces you to put your thinking caps on and focus on his arguments.
If you're not a fan of eloquent arguments then avoid this book.
