Reviews

"""In this brilliant, engaging, and perceptive book, Bart Schultz breathes new life into the utilitarian project, illuminating its potential as a source of inspiration for living well in the modern world. A tour de force."" Roger Crisp, University of Oxford"


“In this brilliant, engaging, and perceptive book, Bart Schultz breathes new life into the utilitarian project, illuminating its potential as a source of inspiration for living well in the modern world. A tour de force.” Roger Crisp, University of Oxford “This book provides an exciting new approach to one of the most important ethical theories – utilitarianism. Schultz uses critical race theory to resist and reshape Mill’s classical idea of liberalism. With his ‘Utilitarianism against Mill’ project, he shows that what we thought once to be a necessary value of Western thought has been shaped by colonialism and racism.” Katarzyna de Lazari-Radek, The European Graduate School
