Publisher's Synopsis
The Ethics of John Stuart Mill is a book written by John Stuart Mill, a British philosopher and economist, that explores his ethical theories and principles. The book delves into Mill's utilitarianism, which focuses on the idea that actions should be judged by their ability to produce the greatest amount of happiness for the greatest number of people. Mill argues that this principle should guide moral decision-making, and that individual rights and freedoms should be protected as long as they do not harm others.Throughout the book, Mill examines various ethical dilemmas and applies his utilitarian principles to them, including issues of justice, freedom, and the role of government in society. He also critiques other ethical theories, such as Kantianism and natural law, and offers his own perspective on the nature of morality and the human experience.The Ethics of John Stuart Mill is a seminal work in the field of ethics and has had a significant impact on the development of moral philosophy. It remains a relevant and thought-provoking read for anyone interested in the intersection of morality, politics, and society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
