"A unified and carefully argued account that deserves to be a cornerstone of Mill studies for years to come."
Utilitas

"Simply the best book on Mill available today ... the achievement for which the author deserves eternal praise is that Miller's Mill makes sense. It is pleasant to see how Mill, who is often accused of being a 'muddled thinker' presents such a consistent philosophy."
Ethical Perspectives "An excellent book for all Mill scholars as well as the general reader."
Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews

Political Studies Review

"A high quality work - scholarly, open-minded, engaging, and accessible. The book has admirable breadth, the discussions of political economy and democracy being especially welcome."
Roger Crisp, University of Oxford

"Dale Miller's book is a superb piece of work. It is comprehensive, compelling, informative and polished. The volume really does cover all of Mill's moral and political philosophy and its arguments are downright persuasive. The book will be the state of the art discussion of the topic and will also provide a clear and straightforward introduction for advanced undergraduate students."
Brad Hooker, University of Reading

"Succinct, lucid, and well informed, this is quite simply the best volume there is on the moral, social, and political side of Mill's thought. Although accessible to those studying Mill for the first time, professional philosophers will learn much from Miller's insightful, judicious, and philosophically acute commentary."
William Shaw, San Jose State University and author of Contemporary Ethics: Taking Account of Utilitarianism
