Utilitarianism John Stuart Mill (English Version) - Odyssee

Foundational philosophical text that elaborates on the ethical theory of utilitarianism, which proposes that the best actions are those that promote the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people. Mill refines the earlier utilitarian ideas of Jeremy Bentham by addressing common criticisms and misconceptions, arguing that happiness is not just about physical pleasure but also encompasses intellectual and emotional well-being. He emphasizes that different pleasures have different qualities, and higher pleasures, such as intellectual achievements and moral sentiments, are more valuable than mere physical satisfaction. Mill also defends the principle of utility by clarifying that moral actions should be judged based on their consequences, and he argues against opposing theories that prioritize intentions or adherence to rigid moral rules. Through a balanced and thorough examination, Mill advocates for utilitarianism as a guide for personal and societal ethics, underscoring the importance of individual liberty, justice, and rights in achieving overall happiness.
