Edited by Katarzyna de Lazari-Radek and Peter Singer, "the acknowledged heirs of the founders of utilitarianism" (Jeff McMahan), the Norton Library edition of Utilitarianism features the complete text of the seventh (1879) edition, preceded by a thorough introduction to the work's historical and intellectual contexts. Extensive endnotes clarify obscure terms and provide detailed analysis 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).
