His answer rests on the greatest happiness principle: actions are right as they promote happiness, wrong as they produce its reverse. He defends this view against objections and asks whether morality can rest on one clear foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMill takes Jeremy Bentham’s account of happiness in a different direction: pleasures differ in quality, not just amount. Across five short chapters, he explores why anyone should obey a moral principle, offers a disputed proof, and faces a stubborn challenge: can usefulness account for our sense of justice?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat you'll discover\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA foundation for morality\u003c\/strong\u003e – Follow Mill’s search for a clear principle beneath our judgments of right and wrong.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMore than mere pleasure\u003c\/strong\u003e – Consider why the quality of happiness matters, not simply how much we experience.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eObjections taken seriously\u003c\/strong\u003e – Watch Mill answer charges against happiness as a goal, including whether it is attainable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe pull of duty\u003c\/strong\u003e – Explore the feelings and pressures that bind people to a moral principle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJustice under scrutiny\u003c\/strong\u003e – Test the claim that justice serves utility against the conviction that some acts are inherently unjust.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect for students of ethics, readers of politics and law, and anyone ready to test their moral judgments through clear but dense argument.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpen the first page and bring your own sense of right and wrong to Mill’s argument.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Library of Alexandria Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59534588772700,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/9442\/8764\/files\/00911_en_ebook-front_c23.jpg?v=1792174927","url":"https:\/\/libraryofalexandria.com\/it\/products\/utilitarismo","provider":"The Library of Alexandria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
