We have no adequate history of English Ethics, the attempt has been made in this volume to coverapartofthegroundbytracingtherbeand de velopment of Utilitarianism in England. No one of the writers considered - not even Hume or Mill - is individ ually of such importance for English Ethics as Bishop Butler; but, taken as a whole, Utilitarianism may fairly be regarded as England's most characteristic, if not most important, contribution to the development of ethical theory. This being the case, its history certainly deserves careful and somewhat extended treatment. The author hopes that. Whatever may be the shortcomings of the following chapters, he will not be accused of treating the subject either carelessly or in a partisan spirit The greater partofthematterofthefirst fivechapters basal mdyappeared as aserieaof articles in the Philo W Review (published from May.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of English Utilitarianism Nobody would deny that the History of Ethics is a very essential part of the History of Philosophy, and, so far as ethical theories have formed an organic part of the general systems of ancient and modern philosophers, they may be said to have received due recognition at the hands of the historian. But, as the general tendency of English thought has been (or for a long time was) practical rather than speculative, it has happened, not unfortunately, that the progress of ethical theory in England has, on the whole, been less involved with the rise and decadence of definite systems of Metaphysics than has been the case on the continent. Problems belonging distinctly to Ethics have for the most part been discussed on their own merits - except, perhaps, where theological issues have been raised. And if English philosophers have not always put forth the profoundest theories regarding the nature and meaning of morality, they have at least done inestimable service in the way of clear thinking and consistent reasoning. Now the result of this comparatively non-metaphysical character of English Ethics is that it has by no means taken its true place in the general History of Philosophy. Properly speaking, we have no history of English Ethics. Dr. Whewell, indeed, published in 1852 his Lectures on the History of Moral Philosophy in England; but this book was hardly calculated to serve more than a temporary purpose.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Beginnings of English Utilitarianism: A Thesis Accepted by the Faculty of Cornell University for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, May, 1894 Perhaps no form of history is more interesting than that which has received the somewhat indefinite, because very general name, History of Philosophy. It is evident that we may understand the field of investigation thus indicated in a broader or in a narrower sense; and it is hardly necessary to remark that the accredited historians of Philosophy have actually differed more or less in their opinions as to the ground to be covered. Nobody would deny that the History of Ethics is a very essential part of the History of Philosophy, and, so far as ethical theories have formed an organic part of the general systems of ancient and modern philosophers, they may be said to have received due recognition at the hands of the historian.

Problems belonging distinctly to Ethics have for the most part been discussed on their own merits except, of course, where theological issues have been raised.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Utilitarianism It is true that similar confusion and uncertainty, and in some cases similar discordance, exist respecting the first principles of all the sciences, not excepting that which is deemed the most certain of them, mathematics without much impairing, generally in deed without impairing at all, the trustworthiness of the conclusions of those sciences. An apparent ano maly, the explanation of which is, that the detailed doctrines of a science are not usually deduced from, nor depend for their evidence upon, what are called its first principles. Were it not so, there would be no science more precarious, or whose conclusions were more insufficiently made out, than algebra which derives none of its certainty from What are commonly taught to learners as its elements, since these, as laid down by some of its most eminent teachers, are as full of fictions as English law, and of mysteries as theology. The truths which are ultimately'accepted as the first principles of a science, are really the last results of metaphysical analysis, practised on the ele mentary notions with which the science is conversant; and their relation to the science is not that of founda tions to an edifice, but of roots to a tree, which may perform their office equally well though they be never dug down to and exposed to light. Win science the fiparticular truths precede the general t nhfibe expectedlm to be the! Case.

Download or read book Utilitarianism and Empire written by Bart Schultz and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2005-08-29 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classical utilitarian legacy of Jeremy Bentham, J. S. Mill, James Mill, and Henry Sidgwick has often been charged with both theoretical and practical complicity in the growth of British imperialism and the emerging racialist discourse of the nineteenth century. But there has been little scholarly work devoted to bringing together the conflicting interpretive perspectives on this legacy and its complex evolution with respect to orientalism and imperialism. This volume, with contributions by leading scholars in the field, represents the first attempt to survey the full range of current scholarly controversy on how the classical utilitarians conceived of 'race' and the part it played in their ethical and political programs, particularly with respect to such issues as slavery and the governance of India. The book both advances our understanding of the history of utilitarianism and imperialism and promotes the scholarly debate, clarifying the major points at issue between those sympathetic to the utilitarian legacy and those critical of it.
