El utilitarismo obliga a repetir constantemente los juicios éticos, que seran relativos al uso que se haga de las cosas, es decir, a las prácticas o conductas que se desarrollen con ellas. La religión o la energía atómica no son ni buenas ni malas, no puede establecerse para siempre la bondad o maldad de algo, sino que depende, en cada caso, de los resultados prácticos. Resultará, las más de las veces, que el utilitaristas calificará a las cosas, vinculadas siempre a conductas, de buenas si resultan beneficiosas y malas si resultan perjudiciales; resultando algunas de ellas buenas y malas a un mismo tiempo, al depender de la utilización que se haga de ellas. Así, la energía atómica es buena (útil, benéfica) en la medida en que proporciona iluminación a las grandes ciudades y mala (perjudicial) en la medida en que permite fabricar bómbas atómicas o desechar residuos radiactivos al mar. Esta consideración ética perdura en nuestros días con el nombre de pragmatismo el cual se caracteriza por hacer depender el juicio ético de los resultados prácticos y así medir la conducta bajo el criterio de su eficacia social.

This volume includes Utilitarianism, On Liberty, and The Contest in America. John Stuart Mill's book Utilitarianism is a philosophical defence of utilitarianism in ethics. On Liberty is a philosophical work by English philosopher John Stuart Mill, originally intended as a short essay. The work, published in 1859, applies Mill's ethical system of utilitarianism to society and the state.

John Stuart Mill was a prominent English philosopher and political economist. Mill is considered to have been one of the most important figures in the history of liberalism, and he contributed greatly to social theory and political theory. Mill was also notable for being the first Member of Parliament to support women's suffrage. On Liberty, published in 1859, is Mill's most famous work. The book is considered to be one of the greatest works in social and political philosophy. Utilitarianism, published in 1863, is one of Mill's most important works as it popularized utilitarian ethics. Mill used many of the same ideas introduced by Jeremy Bentham and expanded on them. The Subjection of Women, published in 1869, is a long essay that may have been co-written by Mill's wife Harriet Taylor Mill. Mill believed that the inequality of women should be a thing of the distant past, a view which was shared by very few. Mill argued that having half the human race being unable to contribute much to society was a major hindrance to the development of mankind.

THERE ARE few circumstances among those which make up the present condition of human knowledge, more unlike what might have been expected, or more significant of the backward state in which speculation on the most important subjects still lingers, than the little progress which has been made in the decision of the controversy respecting the criterion of right and wrong. From the dawn of philosophy, the question concerning the summum bonum, or, what is the same thing, concerning the foundation of morality, has been accounted the main problem in speculative thought, has occupied the most gifted intellects, and divided them into sects and schools, carrying on a vigorous warfare against one another. And after more than two thousand years the same discussions continue, philosophers are still ranged under the same contending banners, and neither thinkers nor mankind at large seem nearer to being unanimous on the subject, than when the youth Socrates listened to the old Protagoras, and asserted (if Plato's dialogue be grounded on a real conversation) the theory of utilitarianism against the popular morality of the so called sophist.

Auguste Comte and Positivism By John Stuart Mill BRAND NEW COPY For some time much has been said, in England and on the Continent, concerning "Positivism" and "the Positive Philosophy." Those phrases, which during the life of the eminent thinker who introduced them had made their way into no writings or discussions but those of his very few direct disciples, have emerged from the depths and manifested themselves on the surface of the philosophy of the age. It is not very widely known what they represent, but it is understood that they represent something. They are symbols of a recognised mode of thought, and one of sufficient importance to induce almost all who now discuss the great problems of philosophy, or survey from any elevated point of view the opinions of the age, to take what is termed the Positivist view of things into serious consideration, and define their own position, more or less friendly or hostile, in regard to it.

Autobiography of John Stuart Mill by John Stuart Mill John Stuart Mill (20 May 1806

John Stuart Mill's book Utilitarianism is a philosophical defense of utilitarianism in ethics. 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. It went through four editions during Mill's lifetime with minor additions and revisions. Although Mill includes discussions of utilitarian ethical principles in other works such as On Liberty and The Subjection of Women, Utilitarianism contains Mill's only major discussion of the fundamental grounds for utilitarian ethical theory.

John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873) was an English philosopher, political economist and civil servant. One of the most influential thinkers in the history of liberalism, he contributed widely to social theory, political theory and political economy. Dubbed "the most influential English-speaking philosopher of the nineteenth century", Mill's conception of liberty justified the freedom of the individual in opposition to unlimited state and social control. Mill was a proponent of utilitarianism, an ethical theory developed by his predecessor Jeremy Bentham. He contributed to the investigation of scientific methodology, though his knowledge of the topic was based on the writings of others, notably William Whewell, John Herschel and Auguste Comte, and research carried out for Mill by Alexander Bain. Mill engaged in written debate with Whewell. A member of the Liberal Party, he was also the first Member of Parliament to call for women's suffrage.

" ... L'induction proprement dite peut être brièvement définie comme une généralisation de l'expérience. Elle consiste à inférer de quelques cas particuliers où un phénomène est observé, qu'il se rencontrera dans tous les cas d'une certaine classe, c'est-à-dire dans tous les cas qui ressemblent aux premiers en ce qu'ils offrent d'essentiel. Par quels moyens les circonstances essentielles peuvent être distinguées de celles qui ne le sont pas, et pourquoi quelques circonstances sont essentielles et d'autres non, nous ne sommes pas encore en mesure de l'expliquer. Il faut d'abord observer qu'il y a un principe impliqué dans l'énoncé même de ce qui est l'induction, un postulat relatif au cours de la nature et à l'ordre de l'univers, à savoir qu'il y a dans la nature des cas parallèles; que ce qui arrive une fois arrivera encore dans des circonstances suffisamment semblables, et de plus arrivera aussi souvent que les mêmes circonstances se représenteront. C'est là, dis-je, un postulat impliqué dans chaque induction. Et si nous consultons le cours actuel de la nature, nous y en trouveront la garantie. L'univers, autant que nous le connaissons, est ainsi constitué que ce qui est vrai dans un cas quelconque est vrai aussi dans tous les cas d'une certaine nature? La seule difficulté est de savoir quelle est cette nature. Ce fait universel, qui est le garant de toutes les conclusions tirées de l'expérience, a été décrit par les philosophes en termes différents; les uns disant que le cours de la nature est uniforme, les autres que l'univers est gouverné par des lois générales et autres expressions semblables. Nous croyons que le feu brûlera demain parce qu'il a brûlé aujourd'hui et hier; et nous croyons, précisément pour les mêmes raisons, qu'il brûlait avant que nous fussions nés. Ce n'est pas du passé à l'avenir, comme tels, que nous concluons, c'est du connu à l'inconnu: de ce que nous avons perçu et dont nous avons eu directement conscience à ce qui ne se trouve pas dans le champs de notre expérience..."

This book is one of the very few early attempts of visualizing a way of putting the Marxist theory into practice. Even at this early stage of socialist thinking, Mill realizes that distributing the wealth onto the proletariat will lead to a state of routine work, where there is neither motivation nor anxiety, however he does not realize that this state of routine will devoid performance of excellence...

This Is A New Release Of The Original 1880 Edition.

Utilitarianism is a classic exposition and defense of utilitarianism in ethics. Written by political economist and civil servant John Stuart Mill, 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. The essay provides support for the value of utilitarianism as a moral theory and defends it against a wide range of criticisms and misunderstandings. Though heavily criticized both in Mill's lifetime and in the years since, Utilitarianism has been credited with popularizing utilitarian ethics and is considered the most influential philosophical articulation of a liberal humanistic morality that was produced in the nineteenth century.

El presente ensayo de John Stuart Mill (1806-1873) pertenece a la breve galería de obras de combate político que, aun décadas o siglos después de ser escritas, siguen determinando los comportamientos de los hombres. John Stuart Mill marcó de forma decisiva el pensamiento democrático liberal. Sobre la libertad fue básicamente concebido como una protesta contra el moralismo coercitivo que imperaba en la Inglaterra victoriana. Mill trató de defender una concepción de la vida política caracterizada por la libertad individual, un gobierno más responsable y una administración eficiente, libre de prácticas corruptas. En las nuevas tendencias democráticas propias de la sociedad del siglo XIX Mill veía numerosos peligros. Temía, como Tocqueville, la tiranía de las mayorías. Su temor se dirigía no tanto al uso coercitivo del aparato estatal, sino más bien a la corrección de la opinión pública que, dominada por el perjuicio y la costumbre, podía ser claramente intolerante con las actitudes o comportamientos de carácter disidente, excéntrico o simplemente diferente.
