8 reviews for Utilitarianism and Other Essays

  1. Aman Kumar

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

  2. Kartik Kamleshkumar Verma

    Excellent introduction to utilitarian thought. The editors provided helpful context.

  3. Hafis Shajahan

    Utilitarianism can be tough to digest. Some essays were insightful, while others felt repetitive. Good for philosophy students.

  4. Shivang Agrawal

    A thought-provoking exploration of morality and happiness. Definitely worth reading and re-reading. Great for discussion.

  5. Siyon Khosla

    A bit heavy on the philosophical jargon, but the core arguments are compelling. Not a light read!

  6. Tanmay Kumar Sarkar

    A must-read for understanding ethical frameworks. Bentham and Mill provide a solid foundation. Some concepts are still relevant.

  7. Anurag Lakhera

    Mill’s writing is dense, but the ideas are impactful. It’s a challenging but rewarding read for anyone interested in ethics.

  8. Raghav Rathi

    Interesting ideas, but the writing style is quite dry and academic. Hard to stay focused at times.
