Utilitarianism

Beschreibung

John Stuart Mill's "Utilitarianism" stands as a cornerstone of ethical and political thought. In this enduring work of moral philosophy, Mill eloquently defends and clarifies the principle of utilitarianism, the doctrine that actions are right in proportion as they tend to promote happiness, wrong as they tend to produce the reverse of happiness. Exploring the concept of "the greatest happiness principle," Mill delves into the nuances of pleasure and pain, examining their role in individual well-being and societal progress. He addresses common criticisms of utilitarianism, offering insightful arguments and distinctions that continue to shape debates in ethics and political philosophy. "Utilitarianism" offers a profound and accessible exploration of happiness, morality, and the foundations of just governance. A vital text for anyone seeking to understand the principles that guide ethical decision-making and social policy. This edition ensures the clarity and accuracy of Mill's original text.
