The Norton Library edition of the book “Utilitarianism” includes the complete text of the seventh (1879) edition, accompanied by a detailed introduction that examines the historical and intellectual contexts of the work.

Extensive notes clarify ambiguous terms and provide an analytical interpretation of the most philosophically significant passages, helping students to understand and critically engage with “the most famous defense of the utilitarian view ever written” (Geoffrey Scarre).
