Abstract :

Abstract Mill as a social reformer did not innovate Utilitarianism but he presented perennial interpretation from it and modified Bentams Utilitarianism which was under severe and vigorous critics. He responded a lot of query and revived the Utilitarianism.These reformations and innovations happened on priciples,purposes and interpretations but on occasions the reforms could not respond appropriately the critics,even the own reforomations and innovations made other critics. . In this essay I have endeavoured that deliberated Mills Utilitarianism and analysed his backgrounds,principles and purposes so that showed howmuch his modified Utilitarianism can solve the critics and resist against the critics.
