Description
“Nadia Urbinati is the finest living political theorist working on Mill and she has produced an excellent volume here. Her wide-ranging introduction will be essential for the newcomer to Mill, as well as enlightening for the seasoned scholar.” —Gregory Conti, Princeton University
This Norton Critical Edition includes:
- Three major essays—On Liberty (1859), Utilitarianism (1861), and The Subjection of Women (1869)—that illustrate Mill’s liberal political philosophy at the height of his powers.
- Editorial matter—including a richly detailed introduction—by Nadia Urbinati.
- Nine major commentaries—by Alan Ryan, Jonathan Riley, Piers Norris Turner, Wendy Donner, Elizabeth Anderson, Colin Heydt, David Dyzenhaus, Martha Nussbaum, and Georgios Varouxakis—that address the major themes of Mill’s philosophy.
- A chronology, a selected bibliography, and an index.
