John Stuart Mill (1806-1873), the English philosopher and political theorist, argues that all genuine knowledge is derived from experience. In his political theory, he is one of the main founders of liberalism in its modern form. His 'utilitarianism' explains moral goodness as conducive to the greatest happiness of the greatest number. Stephen Priest's clear introduction explains Mill's concepts and arguments in an accessible way.
