'Clear in its presentation and nearly flawless in its content.. As a commentary on Mill's text, Crisp's book is probably the best of any now available.' - Mind

'A superb book ... A highly readable, reliable and insightful introduction to Mill's philosophical ethics and politics. It is a substantial piece of Mill scholarship, and the best current introduction to the utilitarian tradition. One could hardly ask for more.' - Philosophical Books

'It is a pleasure to read and welcome this book. Roger Crisp has achieved the difficult task of writing an introductory work that is scholarly yet clear, lively and approachable' - Journal of Medical Ethics

Elegantly and clearly written - Theoria
