Summary

"The English Utilitarians, Volume 1 (of 3)" by Leslie Stephen is a journey through the world of English Utilitarianism. The book spotlights Jeremy Bentham, James Mill, and John Stuart Mill, with this work uncovering how their ideas rocked society and politics back in the day, and also tracks their philosophical roots and how they fit into the world around them.

The author sets the stage by showing how politics, society, and individual actions all came together to form the core of Utilitarian thinking.
