Este tratado de filosofía moral, que ocupa un lugar clave dentro de la obra de JOHN STUART MILL (1806-1873), contiene a la vez enunciados de hecho y valoraciones implícitas respecto al mundo, la humanidad y la felicidad. «El mérito de Mill señala Esperanza Guisán, prologuista y traductora del volumen radica en que supo combinar inteligentemente los datos que le ofrecía la experiencia para formular, proponer e imaginar un mundo que resultase más deseable y una convivencia que pareciese más satisfactoria y más gozosa.» EL UTILITARISMO muestra, por un lado, que el logro de la felicidad humana implica la puesta en marcha de una serie de resortes morales, y por otro, que el ideal de la máxima felicidad del mayor número constituye el criterio mismo de la moralidad. Completa el volumen «Un sistema de la lógica», que esboza de manera clara los supuestos metaéticos de Mill.
