  <default_description>This expanded edition of John Stuart Mill's Utilitarianism includes the text of his 1868 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.</default_description>

The fact that an essay written in the 1860s is still having an impact on contemporary culture speaks to the longevity of J.S. Mill's idea.  It has fueled countless debates among students in philosophy classes,...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/29681597">more...</a>]]></body>
