Rezensionen

This collection of essays, written by some of the most distinguished scholars working in Mill studies today, represents a highly original and extremely important re-evaluation of Mill's career. By exposing and exploring Mill's intellectual debt to the Socratic tradition, it will have a profound and lasting impact on future interpretations of Mill's thought, and on our understanding of utilitarian philosophy more generally.

Philip Schofield, Faculty of Laws, UCL, University of London, UK

This stimulating collection of original essays reminds modern readers just how deeply Mill's debts to Socratic 'elenchus' were intertwined with his liberal utilitarian normative commitments.
