Utilitarianism

EN · English

Mill's statement of the greatest happiness principle, read in full: a spoken introduction, then all five chapters of the 1863 essay — what utilitarianism actually claims, its ultimate sanction, what proof it is susceptible of, and the connexion between justice and utility. For anyone ready to finally hear the book behind every argument about the greatest good for the greatest number. Long after the last chapter, one feeling remains: happiness is the only thing desirable as an end — and you have heard Mill defend it against every objection.
