John Stuart Mill as Philosopher*

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  13 April 2010

Jan Narveson
Affiliation:
University of Waterloo

Extract

This substantial study appears in a series called The Arguments of the Philosophers. If Professor Skorupski's admirable work on Mill is typical, it will be a remarkable series. Both as a work of scholarship and as a contribution to philosophy in its own right, this is an outstanding work, well worth reading by the general philosopher and not just by Mill devotees.
