Description: John Stuart Mill's Utilitarianism continues to serve as a rich source of moral and theoretical insight. This collection of recent articles by top scholars offers fresh interpretations of Mill's ideas about happiness, moral obligation, justice, and rights. Applying contemporary philosophical insights, they challenge the conventional readings of Mill and, in the process, contribute to a deeper understanding of utilitarian theory as well as the complexity of moral life.
