Bloomsbury Encyclopedia of Utilitarianism
«An excellent encyclopedic reference book on the utilitarians and their broad philosophical context ... All academic libraries catering for courses in philosophy or in sociological or political theory can be warmly recommended to consider it for acquisition. Bloomsbury should be congratulated on the production of a well-wrought reference resource on a somewhat specialised subject.»

Jeremy Bentham coined the term 'utilitarian' in 1781, but the idea of 'utility' as a value, goal or principle in political, moral or economic life has a long and rich history. The Bloomsbury Encyclopedia of Utilitarianism captures the complex developmental history and the multi-faceted character of utilitarianism in its various contexts and forms more completely than any previous source.
