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 Liberty Representative Government Classic Reprint written by John Stuart Mill and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Utilitarianism, Liberty Representative Government John Stuart Mill was born in 1806. He was brought up by his father, James Mill, and Jeremy Bentham to carry on the Utilitarian tradition, and after their death he was recognised as the leader, or at least the exponent, of the philosophical Radicals. He was appointed in 1823 to a clerkship in tho India House, where finally he became head of his department in 1856. When the East India Company was abolished in 1857, he refused to accept a position under the re-constituted authority, and retired in the beginning of 1858. In 1865 he was elected Member of Parliament for Westminster, but was not re-elected in 1868. He spent the rest of his life till his death in 1873 in literary and philosophical pursuits. Mill's position at the India House gave him considerable leisure for writing, and his total literary output was very large. But much the greater part of it consisted in reviews and articles for periodicals, mainly for the Westminster Review, and in editing Bentham's or his father's work. Of his more permanent writings, besides the three contained in this volume, the most important are his Logic, published in 1843, the Political Economy, published in 1848, the Examination of Sir William Hamilton's Philosophy, published in 1865, a treatise on The Subjection of Women, written in 1861 and published in 1869, and three posthumous essays on Nature, The Utility of Religion, and Theism. Of the three works included in this volume. Utilitarianism, Liberty, and Considerations on Representative Government, the second is the most careful and studied expression of Mill's thought. It was planned in 1854 and revised with great care, owing much, as the dedication witnesses, to the cooperation and criticism of his wife. It was published after her death in 1859. It is justly the most famous of all his writings, and contains his most individual and characteristic doctrines. Utilitarianism, compiled from previously written papers, was published in Fraser's Magazine in 1861, and republished in 1863. The Considerations on Representative Government was published in 1861. Mill was brought up in the strictest Utilitarian doctrine. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: How is this book unique? Font adjustments & biography included Unabridged (100% Original content) Formatted for e-reader Illustrated About Utilitarianism by John Stuart Mill John Stuart Mill's book Utilitarianism is a classic exposition and defence of utilitarianism in ethics. The book 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 aim 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. Though heavily criticized both in Mill's lifetime and in the years since, Utilitarianism did a great deal to popularize utilitarian ethics and was "the most influential philosophical articulation of a liberal humanistic morality that was produced in the nineteenth century." Mill took many elements of his version of utilitarianism from Jeremy Bentham, the great nineteenth-century legal reformer, who along with William Paley were the two most influential English utilitarians prior to Mill. Like Bentham, Mill believed that happiness (or pleasure, which both Bentham and Mill equated with happiness) was the only thing humans do and should desire for its own sake. Since happiness is the only intrinsic good, and since more happiness is preferable to less, the goal of the ethical life is to maximize happiness. This is what Bentham and Mill call "the principle of utility" or "the greatest-happiness principle." Both Bentham and Mill thus endorse "classical" or "hedonistic" forms of utilitarianism. More recent utilitarians often deny that happiness is the sole intrinsic good, arguing that a variety of values and consequences should be considered in ethical decision making. Although Mill agreed with Bentham about many of the foundational principles of ethics, he also had some major disagreements. In particular, Mill tried to develop a more refined form of utilitarianism that would harmonize better with ordinary morality and highlight the importance in the ethical life of intellectual pleasures, self-development, high ideals of character, and conventional moral rules. In Chapter 1, titled "General Remarks," Mill notes that there has been little progress in ethics. Since the beginning of philosophy, the same issues have been debated over and over again, and philosophers continue to disagree sharply over the basic starting points of ethics. Mill argues that these philosophical disputes have not seriously damaged popular morality, largely because conventional morality is substantially, though implicitly, utilitarian. He concludes the chapter by noting that he will not attempt to give a strict "proof" of the greatest-happiness principle. Like Bentham, Mill believed that ultimate ends and first principles cannot be demonstrated, since they lie at the foundation of everything else that we know and believe. Nevertheless, he claims, "[c]onsiderations may be presented capable of determining the intellect," which amount to something close to a proof of the principle of utility.

Download or read book Morality Utilitarianism and Rights written by Richard B. Brandt and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1992-06-26 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Brandt is one of the most eminent and influential of contemporary moral philosophers. His work has been concerned with how to justify what is good or right not by reliance on intuitions or theories about what moral words mean but by the explanation of moral psychology and the description of what it is to value something, or to think it immoral. His approach thus stands in marked contrast to the influential work of John Rawls. The essays reprinted in this collection span a period of almost 30 years and include many classic pieces in metaethical and normative ethical theory. The collection is aimed at both those moral philosophers familiar with Brandt's work and at those philosophers who may be largely unfamiliar with his work. The latter group will be struck by the lucid unpretentious style and the cumulative weight of Brandt's contributions to topics that remain at the forefront of moral philosophy.
