Utilitarianism

In "Utilitarianism," John Stuart Mill presents a comprehensive exploration of utilitarianism as a moral theory, addressing common misconceptions while outlining its foundational principles. The book is divided into five chapters, where Mill defines utilitarianism, examines its criticisms, and discusses the rewards it offers, ultimately linking happiness to the concept of justice. He argues that humans are inherently social beings motivated by the welfare of others and counters various critiques regarding the theory's perceived limitations and moral implications.
