{"product_id":"9781538002414","title":"Utilitarianism","description":"John Stuart Mill's book Utilitarianism is a classic exposition and defence of utilitarianism in ethics. The essay first appeared as a series of three articles published in Fraser's Magazine in 1861; the articles were collected and reprinted as a single book in 1863. Mill's aim in the book is to explain what utilitarianism is, to show why it is the best theory of ethics, and to defend it against a wide range of criticisms and misunderstandings. Though heavily criticized both in Mill's lifetime and in the years since, Utilitarianism did a great deal to popularize utilitarian ethics and was \"the most influential philosophical articulation of a liberal humanistic morality that was produced in the nineteenth century.\"","brand":"NOOK Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47065177194736,"sku":"9781538002414","price":6.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781538002414_p0.jpg?v=1763743213","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781538002414","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
