Product Description
This expanded edition of John Stuart Mill's '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.

The most comprehensive criticique of Mill's work
For any student studying Utilitarianism, owning a copy of Crisp is a must. It is the most up to date and comprehensive, easy to read and relevant text related to Mill's piece of work. No other literature is really essential (except maybe Skorupski) in understanding Utilitarianism, as Crisp covers all areas of debate thoroughly and it is up to date (in regard to GE Moore's failed 'fallacy' argument).
