The Ethics of John Stuart Mill (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Ethics of John Stuart Mill<br><br>This edition of Mill's chief ethical writings is designed for the use of those who are beginning the study of moral science, and has been prepared in the belief that there is no better introduction to this subject than an accurate knowledge of Mill's ethical theory. Mill's writings are useful, not only because they mark a period of change in English Philosophy, but also because they possess qualities of thought and expression which give permanent weight to their speculative freedom and precision. To study them is an education in ethics, both because they treat the chief topics of the science in a broad and vigorous way, and because they evoke the mood of mind which is appropriate to the whole subject.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
