Utilitarianism: A Very Short Introduction
by Katarzyna de Lazari-Radek & Peter Singer
🏆 A Five Books Book of the Year
Part of the Very Short Introductions series
“This book is quite brilliantly done. It’s a very concise book, but it’s intelligible and precise in the way it describes the varieties of utilitarianism. It’s very readable and it covers a lot of ground. It covers what you would cover in a university undergraduate course on utilitarianism, but you can read and take it in in four or five hours or so.

It’s got a bias, obviously, because it’s written by people who are extremely sympathetic to utilitarianism.” Read more...
