Now, Utilitarianism is a doctrine that the greatest good is to be given to the greatest number. It is a section of Philosophy that deals with Ethics and so on. This book is no slouch in that sense, covering the ideas and ideals of justice and why it is permissible to exact justice on some people but not others. Another note to make is that Utilitarianism itself is split into two main focuses, act-utilitarianism and rule-utilitarianism. It is pretty interesting.
Since the book is a collection of essays or papers from other sources, only the introduction and one other paper were not from that source. The version I have predates the ISBN system so it is difficult to tell if this is the same version. However, I suppose that since the title and author match that it should be fine.
