Description
John Stuart Mill's work on utilitarianism offers a systematic approach to ethical inquiry. By applying the scientific method to his own philosophical theories, Mill developed the "greatest-happiness principle," which posits that it is only ethical to act in ways that maximize happiness for the greatest number of people.
This concise volume outlines Mill's definition and ordering of different forms of happiness, as well as the importance of maintaining an objective perspective when evaluating the ethics of a particular event. A thought-provoking exploration of utilitarianism, this book provides valuable insights into ethical theory and its application.
