This collection is comprehensive, but the language is dated. I wish there were more modern examples to relate to.

Excellent introduction to utilitarian thought. The editors provided helpful context.
Hafis Shajahan –
Utilitarianism can be tough to digest. Some essays were insightful, while others felt repetitive. Good for philosophy students.
Shivang Agrawal –
A thought-provoking exploration of morality and happiness. Definitely worth reading and re-reading. Great for discussion.
Siyon Khosla –
A bit heavy on the philosophical jargon, but the core arguments are compelling. Not a light read!
Tanmay Kumar Sarkar –
A must-read for understanding ethical frameworks. Bentham and Mill provide a solid foundation. Some concepts are still relevant.
Anurag Lakhera –
Mill’s writing is dense, but the ideas are impactful. It’s a challenging but rewarding read for anyone interested in ethics.
Raghav Rathi –
Interesting ideas, but the writing style is quite dry and academic. Hard to stay focused at times.
