Rethinking Mill's Ethics - Character and Aesthetic Education

Zusammenfassung Discussion of John Stuart Mill's ethics has been dominated by concern with right and wrong action as determined by the principle of utility. This book unearths the context of moral and socio-political debate that Mill did not have to make explicit to his Victorian readers.
