Utilitarianism Summary
| We are continually informed that Utility is an uncertain standard, which every different person interprets differently, and that there is no safety but in the immutable, ineffaceable, and unmistakable dictates of justice, which carry their evidence in themselves, and are independent of the fluctuations of opinion. One would suppose from this that on questions of justice there could be no controversy; that if we take that for our rule, its application to any given case could leave us in as little doubt as a mathematical demonstration. |
|
|
| Mill attempts to prove the principle of utility, explains its enforcement, and discusses its relation to a principle of justice. This is an interesting view, and the author is very thorough in his subject. A philosophical must! Please Note: This book is in true text, not scanned images that can sometimes be difficult to decipher. This eBook is printable. |
|
|
| An essay on the philosophical principle of Utility; that the greatest happiness of the greatest number is the foundation of morals. Mill's suggestion was that pleasures differ in kind; that some pleasures are more valuable than others. |

' Utilitarianism |
|
|
| Utilitarianism, the best known branch of consequentialist ethics, was popularized by Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill in the 18th and 19th centuries. This book maintains that ethics primarily depend on the consequences of oneÆs behavior rather that the values one holds. Thus values are ethical insofar as these values produce desirable outcomes. |
