Utilitarianism

Více o knize

The work presents a philosophical defense of utilitarianism, emphasizing that the moral value of actions is based on their contribution to overall happiness or pleasure for all individuals. Originating from a series of articles published in 1861, it frames utilitarianism as a consequentialist theory, where the outcomes of actions dictate their ethical significance. Mill's exploration delves into the implications of this approach, advocating for a moral framework centered on maximizing utility.
