This volume reinterprets J. S. Mill and Henry Sidgwick's versions of utilitarianism, showing how they remained a source of tension in English moral philosophy long after their time. It explores how debates over Darwinian evolution and doubts about philosophical method kept classical utilitarianism alive as an 'anxiety'.
