Starting with Mill

the long version

"Clearly structured according to Mill's key works, the book leads the reader through a complete overview of the development of his thought, resulting in a more thorough understanding of the roots of his philosophical concerns. Offering coverage of the full range of Mill's ideas, the book explores his contributions to metaphysics and epistemology, logic, psychology, political economy, ethics, utilitarianism, and liberalism. Crucially the book introduces the major thinkers whose work proved influential in the development of Mill's thought, including jeremy Bentham, James Mill, Adam Smith, John Locke and the other British Empiricists."--Pub. desc.
