{"product_id":"utilitarianism","title":"Utilitarianism","description":"\u003cp\u003eJohn A fundamental exposition and defence of utilitarianism in ethics may be found in Stuart Mill's work Utilitarianism. The essay was first published in Fraser's Magazine as a trilogy of three parts in 1861 (vol. 64, p. 391-406, 525-534, and 659-673); the articles were compiled and reprinted as a single volume in 1863. The purpose of Mill's work is to define utilitarianism, demonstrate why it is the greatest ethical theory, and defend it against a variety of objections and misunderstandings. Although it received harsh criticism during Mill's lifetime and since, utilitarianism has been hailed as \"the most influential philosophical articulation of a liberal humanistic morality that was produced in the nineteenth century\" for its significant contribution to the spread of utilitarian ethics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GENRES BSTIN Higher Education Textbooks","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":62421165408626,"sku":"?9789357001434 - PB","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":62421165441394,"sku":"?9789357001434 - HB","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/6889\/0482\/files\/61-RQ-EXEFL.jpg?v=1790674331","url":"https:\/\/universalreads.com\/products\/utilitarianism","provider":"Universal reads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
