The author, one of the foremost philosophers of his time, examines the arguments for and against utilitarianism, a philosophical theory that holds that an act is morally right if it produces the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people. This book is a landmark in the history of ethics and is considered one of the most rigorous and comprehensive examinations of the foundations of morality. It is illuminating for anyone interested in philosophy, morality, or the question of how we ought to live. The author's insights into human nature and the nature of moral truth are profound and persuasive and continue to have a significant impact on ethical thought today.
