Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Examination of the Utilitarian Philosophy Utilitarianism, I had the intention of writing some thing in answer to him on that subject, and had actually begun the printing of the result of this intention. I was led, in connexion with this, to put together the intellectual views on which the moral view rested, which had something of the character of prolegomena to it, and had meant, if they should come within reasonable limits, to publish them in an Appendix He afterwards altered his mind.

This book was released on 2018-01-13 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Examination of the Utilitarian Theory of Morals The value of well-founded doctrines in morals, both to the individual and to society, is of great moment in this age of independent research, and almost restless enquiry, when some even venture to propose reconstruction in religion and morals. Reflection on such things led the writer to examine and compare the two leading opposite schools of Moralists, with a view to discover the merits of their respective claims to acceptance. The result, in the form of a brief summary, is contained in the following pages. No one can be more sensible than the writer, of the many imperfections in the attempt he has made to carry out his purpose, yet it is felt that the careful reader can scarcely fail to be helped to see the inadequacy of the Utilitarian System, and the sufficiency of the Intuitional Theory, to answer all the demands of an ethical system. Ethical Empiricism is radically defective. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Utilitarianism Annotated written by John Stuart Mill and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-10 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Stuart Mill 's book Utilitarianism is a classical philosophical analysis and defense of utilitarianism. The essay first appeared as a series of three articles published in Fraser 's Magazine in 1861, the articles were collected and reprinted as a single book in 1863. Mill 's goal in the book is to explain what utilitarianism is, to show why it is the best theory of ethics, and to defend it against a wide range of criticisms and misunderstandings. Although heavily criticized both in Mill 's lifetime and in the years since, Utilitarianism has made a great contribution to popularizing utilitarian ethics and has been considered the "most influential philosophical articulation of a liberal humanist morality"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Examination of Mr. J. S. Mill's Philosophy: Being a Defence of Fundamental Truth In May, 1865, Mr. Mill published an Examination of Sir William Hamilton's Philosophy, in which he unfolds principles fitted, as I think, to undermine fundamental truth. In the beginning of the following year, I published this work as a reply. In the third edition of his work, published in 1867, Mr. Mill replied to his critics, including myself. I place in Appendix II. To this edition my answer to Mr. Mill's strictures. The combatants are now brought to very close quarters. We now see clearly what are the questions at issue. The Appendix may be regarded as forming a sort of résumé of the whole controversy, not so far as it relates to Hamilton, but as it bears on what is far more important.

Download or read book The Classical Utilitarians written by Jeremy Bentham and published by Hackett Publishing. This book was released on 2003-03-15 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume includes the complete texts of two of John Stuart Mill's most important works, Utilitarianism and On Liberty, and selections from his other writings, including the complete text of his Remarks on Bentham's Philosophy. The selection from Mill's A System of Logic is of special relevance to the debate between those who read Mill as an Act-Utilitarian and those who interpret him as a Rule-Utilitarian. Also included are selections from the writings of Jeremy Bentham, founder of modern Utilitarianism and mentor (together with James Mill) of John Stuart Mill. Bentham's Principles of Morals and Legislation had important effects on political and legal reform in his own time and continues to provide insights for political theorists and philosophers of law. Seven chapters of Bentham's Principles are here in their entirety, together with a number of shorter selections, including one in which Bentham repudiates the slogan often used to characterize his philosophy: The Greatest Happiness of the Greatest Number. John Troyer's Introduction presents the central themes and arguments of Bentham and Mill and assesses their relevance to current discussions of Utilitarianism. The volume also provides indexes, a glossary, and notes.

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. 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 metaphysic 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, of course, where theological issues have been raised. If English writers 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Examination of the Utilitarian Theory of Morals This little treatise is but an unpretending contribution in the department of Moral Science. Written by snatches amid the varied duties of ministerial life, it lays no claim either to be profound in matter, or complete in form. Much less does it pretend to any originality The practical importance of correct views on the questions of Moral Science may be underestimated. Sound ethical principles are closely related to religion, just as the Theistic position is vital to sound opinions touching ethical principles. An attempt is made to keep this in view in these pages. The value of well-founded doctrines in morals, both to the individual and to society, is of great moment in this age of independent research, and almost restless enquiry, when some even venture to propose reconstruction in religion and morals. Reflection on such things Jed the writer to examine and compare the two leading opposite schools of Moralists, with a view to discover the merits of their respective claims to acceptance. The result, in the form of a brief summary, is contained in the following pages. No one can be more sensible than the writer, of the many imperfections in the attempt he has made to carry out his purpose, yet it is felt that the careful reader can scarcely fail to be helped to see the inadequacy of the Utilitarian System, and the sufficiency of the Intuitional Theory, to answer all the demands of an ethical system. Ethical Empiricism is radically defective. In regard to the plan of the work, it is proper to state that fault may be found with the method of treatment.

Download or read book The Limits of Utilitarianism written by Harlan B. Miller and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Limits of Utilitarianism was first published in 1982. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions. Many philosophers have argued that utilitarianism is an unacceptable moral theory and that promoting the general welfare is at best only one of the legitimate goals of public policy. Utilitarian principles seem to place no limits on the extent to which society may legitimately interfere with a person's liberties - provided that such actions can be shown to promote the long-term welfare of its members. These issues have played a central role in discussions of utilitarianism since the time of Bentham and Mill. Despite criticisms, utilitarianism remains the most influential and widely accepted moral theory of recent times. In this volume contemporary philosophers address four aspects of utilitarianism: the principle of utility; utilitarianism vis-à-vis contractarianism; welfare; and voluntary cooperation and helping others. The editors provide an introduction and a comprehensive bibliography that covers all books and articles published in utilitarianism since 1930.
