“The great value of this thought-provoking book is neither strictly biographical nor ethical, but methodological... By investigating the life of a real human being whose disappointments, ecstasies and aporias were all his own, we are reminded that the true topic of ethics, a human life and how to live it well, is better served by examining a life in its fullness, in all its complexity and apparent contradiction, than the sparse and faceless thought experiments we usually encounter.” —Times Literary Supplement John Stuart Mill was one of the most important and influential philosophers of the nineteenth century. He was also someone who exemplified a view about the meaning of life that is widespread among both philosophers and nonacademics·, that projects are what make your life meaningful, and if a single project is large enough to occupy center stage in it, that is the meaning of your life. His brilliant career notwithstanding, Mill’s life was a train wreck; Elijah Millgram argues that what went wrong was the very fact that Mill s life was a project—the tragedy of his life was an almost inevitable consequence of living out this account of the meaning of life. At once a scholarly contribution to the history of an important philosophical figure and an intervention in an ongoing debate within moral philosophy, this book takes on a topic that people outside the academy expect philosophy to address, but which it too rarely does: namely, the meaning of life. is E. E. Ericksen Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the University of Utah. Author of Practical Induction, Ethics
Done Right, Hard Truths, and The Great Endarkenment (OUP, 2015), he has held fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, and the Guggenheim Foundation.
