John Stuart Mill was one of the most important figures in political philosophy, and his ideas are hugely influential in political philosophy. Whilst much has been written about Mill's key work on liberty, not much has been published on his ideas on justice. Justice is increasingly a vital area of discussion in both moral and political philosophy, and Mill had a lot of important things to say about very topical issues such as rights, duty, equality and harm - all very crucial to theories of justice. This extremely impressive volume of renowned Mill scholars addresses this gap in Mill studies and theories of justice and will add significantly to the literature.
