Alan Ryan’s J. S. Mill is a concise, scholarly introduction to one of the nineteenth century’s most influential thinkers. Covering Mill’s major works, Autobiography, A System of Logic, Utilitarianism, On Liberty and The Subjection of Women, Ryan argues for the coherence of Mill’s empiricist epistemology and utilitarian ethics, while situating his ideas within the political and intellectual anxieties of his age. The book surveys Mill’s roles as logician, economist, political theorist and reformer, and shows how his concerns about education, individual freedom and the social sciences remain relevant.

Published by Routledge and Kegan Paul in 1970, hardcover, 295 pages, this study is ideal for students, general readers and collectors seeking a clear, authoritative guide to Mill’s philosophy. Add it to your library today.
