Description
Utilitarianism and Other Essays explores one of the most influential schools of thought in 19th-century philosophy. Jeremy Bentham's pragmatic approach to ethics, which prioritizes the welfare of those affected by an action, is examined alongside that of his greatest interpreter, John Stuart Mill.
The essays collected in this volume demonstrate the development of a system of ethics that has had a lasting impact on moral philosophy and legislative policy. Readers can gain insight into the creation and evolution of Utilitarianism, a philosophical framework that continues to shape our understanding of right and wrong.
