This book offers a clear and highly readable introduction to the
ethical and social-political philosophy of John Stuart Mill. Dale
E. Miller argues for a "utopian" reading of Mill's utilitarianism.
He analyses Mill's views on happiness and goes on to show the
practical, social and political implications that can be drawn from
his utilitarianism, especially in relation to the construction of
morality, individual freedom, democratic reform, and economic
organization. By highlighting the utopian thinking which lies at
the heart of Mill's theories, Miller shows that rather than
allowing for well-being for the few, Mill believed that a society
must do everything in its power to see to it that each individual
can enjoy a genuinely happy life if the happiness of its members is
to be maximized. Miller provides a cogent and careful account of
the main arguments offered by Mill, considers the critical
responses to his work, and assesses its legacy for contemporary
philosophy. Lucidly and persuasively written, this book will be a
valuable resource for students and scholars seeking to understand
the continued importance of Mill's thinking.
