Author: David Hume ISBN: 9780872206052 Binding: paperback Section: Philosophy/Rhetoric/Logic This expanded edition of John Stuart Mill's Utilitarianism includes the text of his 186 8 speech to the British House of Commons defending the use of capital punishment in cases of aggravated murder. The speech is significant both because its topic remains timely and because its arguments illustrate the applicability of the principle of utility to questions of large-scale social policy. Show more
