John Stuart Mill disagreed with some aspects of Jeremy Bentham's utilitarianism. While Bentham viewed all pleasures as equal, Mill argued that some pleasures, like intellectual pursuits, are of higher quality than baser pleasures like substance abuse. Mill believed happiness, not just pleasure, should be the standard of utility. He also took into account human nature and well-being, rather than just quantifying pleasure. For Mill, true happiness involves things like meaningful relationships and intellectual fulfillment, not just momentary physical gratification.

John stuart mill
John Stuart Mill was a British philosopher who developed the theory of utilitarianism. He was educated entirely by his father James Mill through a rigorous system focused solely on the intellect. As a result, Mill's emotional development was neglected. In his 20s, Mill experienced a mental health crisis but eventually recovered. He went on to write extensively on political theory, ethics and logic, advocating for women's suffrage and other reforms. Mill argued that morality should be based on producing the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people. Actions are right if they promote happiness and wrong if they produce unhappiness.
John Stuart Mill
Born in 1806 in London, John Stuart Mill was a British philosopher, political economist, and civil servant. He made contributions to social theory, political theory, and political economy. He began studying Greek at age 3, Latin at age 8, and was introduced to political economy at age 13, studying Adam Smith and David Ricardo. Among his major works were On Liberty, Utilitarianism, and Principles of Political Economy.
John Stuart Mill
John Stuart Mill had a difficult childhood, as his father used him as a subject to test his theories of education, which caused Mill to have a nervous breakdown. As an adult, Mill fought against various forms of tyranny, including advocating for women's rights. He argued that women's subordination to men through practices like coerced marriage was a barbaric holdover that should be abolished. Mill believed that individuals require freedom to develop themselves on all sides according to their inner nature, rather than being shaped like machines to some external model.

Thomas Hobbes
Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) was an English philosopher who is considered one of the founders of modern political philosophy. He studied at Oxford University and traveled throughout Europe, experiencing different forms of government. Hobbes believed humans were inherently selfish and without rules or authority would live in a "war of all against all." He argued the best form of government was an absolute monarchy that imposed order through a strong central authority figure like a king. His most famous work was Leviathan, published during the English Civil War, where he made the case that people could not be trusted to govern themselves and needed an absolute ruler to maintain peace and security.
Thomas Hobbes and The Social Contract
Thomas Hobbes was a 17th century English philosopher known for developing social contract theory. He argued that individuals in a state of nature would consent to be governed by an absolute sovereign in order to escape a chaotic and dangerous condition. Hobbes believed people relinquished their rights and authorized the sovereign's absolute rule to maintain peace and security. His theory justified strong central authority but was criticized for limiting individual liberty.

Capitalism
The document discusses capitalism from several perspectives. It begins with an introduction to capitalism and its key principles of private ownership, profit, and voluntary exchange. It then provides a historical overview of capitalism from its pre-history through modern eras like mercantilism, industrialization, and globalization. The document also examines different types of capitalism like free market capitalism and state capitalism. It outlines both advocacy for capitalism's ability to drive economic growth and self-organization, as well as criticisms around inequality and unfair distribution of wealth and power.
Thomas hobbes
Hobbes aimed to understand how social order is possible given human nature. He viewed humans as being in a state of nature characterized by a war of "all against all" due to humans' natural competitive desires and insecurities. Without a sovereign power to enforce rules, life would be "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short." To escape this state of nature and achieve peace, Hobbes argued people consent to a social contract establishing an absolute sovereign with a monopoly on power. In his influential work Leviathan, Hobbes laid out this social contract theory and argued for strong central government to maintain order and avoid civil war.
Thomas Hobbes' Political Philosophy
The document discusses several key aspects of Thomas Hobbes' political philosophy:
1) In the state of nature, there is a "war of all against all" where life is "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short." This stems from humans' natural right of self-preservation.
2) To escape this state, individuals agree to a social contract that establishes an absolute sovereign with supreme power and authority.
3) The sovereign determines justice, property rights, and laws. Citizens must obey without question to maintain peace and security. Criticism of the sovereign is seen as self-accusation.
4) Hobbes rejects notions of inherent rights and justice in favor of
Karl Marx
Marxism consists of three components: a political doctrine, a philosophy of history, and an analysis of the economy. Marx believed that the economic base of society, or how wealth is produced, determines the social and political superstructure. As productive technologies change, new class relations emerge between workers and owners. Capitalism relies on wage labor and private control of production, creating an inherent conflict of interests between workers and owners. This leads to capitalism's inevitable collapse due to falling profits, overproduction, and unemployment as workers cannot afford the goods they produce.

Plato
The document discusses several key aspects of Plato's political philosophy and ideal state as presented in works like The Republic. It explains that Plato's state is ruled by "philosopher kings" who are free from materialism and illusions. It has a system of functional specialization and strict state-controlled education. Plato believed justice could be achieved through communism of property and family, with children considered national property. His ideal state is criticized for being utopian, promoting dictatorship, and restricting individual liberty.
George wilhelm friedrich hegel
George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel was a German philosopher born in 1770 who developed a complex philosophical system. He was a professor of philosophy at several universities. Some of his major works included Phenomenology of Mind, Phenomenology of Logic, and Philosophy of Right. Hegel believed that philosophy was a unique discipline dealing with unique objects and methods. He developed a dialectic logic that viewed thought as dynamic, self-transcending, and fundamentally dialectic. For Hegel, reality is constituted by our thoughts, even if our thoughts involve contradictions, as contradictions can be reconciled into a higher unity through dialectic reasoning. Hegel viewed reason as governing both our thinking and the world, with the rational being the real
Thomas hobbes
Thomas Hobbes was an English philosopher born in 1588 who is considered one of the founders of modern political philosophy. He studied at Oxford University and traveled throughout Europe, becoming interested in different forms of government. His most famous work was Leviathan, in which he argued that human nature is selfish and violent, and that life in a state of nature would be "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short." Hobbes believed people consent to a social contract establishing an absolute sovereign, such as a monarch, to maintain order and security. He viewed sovereignty as the foundation of civil government and advocated for strong, centralized states with absolute power.
Rousseau's 'Social Contract'
Rousseau's "The Social Contract" proposes that legitimate political authority can only exist through a social contract where individuals give up some freedoms and form a community with shared sovereignty ("general will"). The sovereign power belongs collectively to the people, with government administering laws, and freedom exists through equality under self-given laws ratified by all. However, Rousseau notes that for a people to successfully institute principles of liberty, equality and fraternity through laws and institutions, they must already embody the social spirit these are meant to create.
The Political philosophy of Thomas Hobbes
Thomas Hobbes was an English philosopher who argued that people were naturally self-interested and could not be trusted to govern themselves. In his most famous work, Leviathan, he proposed that the absolute monarchy was the best form of government because it concentrated all power in the hands of a sovereign, like a king, who could enforce order and security. Hobbes believed that without a powerful central authority, humanity would revert to a "state of nature" characterized by insecurity, conflict, and a "war of all against all."
Georg wilhelm friedrich hegel
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel was a leading figure in German idealism in the early 19th century. He developed a dialectical method of reasoning to explain history, philosophy, art, politics and religion. He believed that progress occurs through the clash of opposing ideas that get resolved at a higher level of truth. For Hegel, the goal of humanity is to achieve full consciousness of spirit through philosophy and the arts. His ideas had a major influence on later philosophers like Marx who adopted his vision of struggle and dream of its end.
Jean Jacques Rousseau and His Political Philosophy
Rousseau believed that humanity fell from a state of natural freedom and goodness with the emergence of social relations and private property. As people became more social and dependent on one another, they lost their independence and became corrupted by amour propre. Rousseau prescribed a virtuous and cooperative society informed by the general will as a way to redeem humanity and recapture some of its original freedom. His ideas greatly influenced the French Revolution and demonstrated the power of political philosophy to change history.
John Locke
John Locke was an English philosopher born in 1632. He was educated at Westminster School and Oxford, where he studied medicine. Locke became personal physician to Anthony Ashley Cooper, the Earl of Shaftesbury, in 1667. Locke published several influential works, including An Essay Concerning Human Understanding, which outlined his empiricist theory of knowledge, and Two Treatises of Government, which influenced political thought. Locke argued that governments should protect natural rights and respect religious toleration. He spent his later years in Essex, dying in 1704.
Thomas Hobbes
Thomas Hobbes was an English philosopher who lived from 1588 to 1679. He studied at Oxford University and developed theories about political philosophy and human nature. Hobbes believed that in a state of nature without government, humans would be in a constant state of war due to seeking power over others. To escape this, humans form societies through social contracts that establish sovereign authority like a monarch to maintain order and peace. Hobbes argued this absolute authority was the best form of government to restrain people's natural inclinations towards harming each other. His most influential work was Leviathan, published in 1651.
Hobbes, Locke, And Rousseau
The document summarizes the philosophies of Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau regarding the state of nature and social contracts. For Hobbes, the state of nature is a state of war where life is solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short. He argues people form social contracts and sovereign governments to escape this state. For Locke, the state of nature is characterized by perfect freedom and equality under natural law, though it can descend into a state of war. Rousseau posits the state of nature has freedom and force, and the social contract forms a general will where people agree to be compelled for their own freedom.
Utilitarianism by Jeremy-Bentham
Jeremy Bentham was an English philosopher and political radical. He is primarily known today for his moral philosophy, especially his principle of utilitarianism, which evaluates actions based upon their consequences. ... Happiness, according to Bentham, is thus a matter of experiencing pleasure and lack of pain.
Utilitarianism is one of the best known and most influential moral theories. ... Utilitarians believe that the purpose of morality is to make life better by increasing the number of good things (such as pleasure and happiness) in the world and decreasing the number of bad things (such as pain and unhappiness).
DEPENDENCY THEORY OF DEVELOPMENT.ppt
This document provides an overview of dependency theory and its key concepts. It discusses:
- The background and emergence of dependency theory from criticisms of modernization theory by Latin American scholars.
- How dependency theory views unequal relationships between core developed countries and peripheral less developed countries, with exploitation of the latter by the former.

- Influential analyses by Paul Baran, Andre Gunder Frank and others that sought to explain underdevelopment as a result of relationships with core economies and capitalism.
Mercantilism
This document provides an introduction to a presentation on mercantilism. It lists the group members presenting - Kaniz Fatima, Fariha Ahmad, and Tarich Khalasi - and their student IDs. It then provides an overview of the basic concepts of mercantilism, including that it believes a nation's wealth depends on precious metals and favors exporting more than importing to accumulate gold and silver. It also notes Adam Smith first coined the term "mercantile system" and that mercantilist policies involved tariffs, subsidies, and limiting wages.
Hegel presentaciones ppt
George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel was a German philosopher born in 1770 who developed a comprehensive philosophical system called German Idealism. He believed that reality is a rational whole that evolves through contradictions and negations to reach higher levels of truth and understanding. His major works explored the dialectical relationships between concepts like mind and nature, subject and object, and freedom and necessity. Hegel's writings were difficult to understand due to his use of complex speculative logic and dialectics to develop a new form of philosophical thinking.

Utilitarianism bentham mill
Mill agreed with Bentham's view that happiness should be the standard of utility, but believed that not all pleasures were equal. He developed a theory of higher and lower pleasures, arguing that intellectual pleasures were of higher quality than bodily pleasures like eating, drinking, or sex. Mill maintained it is better to be a dissatisfied Socrates than a satisfied fool, as human dissatisfaction with intellectual pursuits is superior to bestial satisfaction of bodily desires alone.

John Stuart Mill was Jeremy Bentham's godson and developed his own form of utilitarianism. While agreeing with Bentham that happiness should be the standard of utility, Mill believed that not all pleasures are equal. He distinguished between higher intellectual pleasures and lower bodily pleasures, arguing that pursuing intellectual pleasures leads to greater happiness. Mill also took human nature into account, unlike Bentham who viewed happiness in purely quantitative terms.
Ethics, Part 1
The document discusses several philosophical approaches to ethics, including egoism, hedonism, utilitarianism, and Kant's deontic ethic. It examines the views of key philosophers like Plato, Hobbes, Epicurus, Bentham, and Mill. Utilitarianism is introduced as assessing the morality of actions based on the amount of happiness or good they produce. Bentham's calculus of felicity and Mill's distinction between higher and lower pleasures are discussed. Criticisms of utilitarianism are also presented, such as through the example of sacrificing one person to save several others.
Lesson 3
Utilitarianism aims to maximize happiness and minimize suffering. Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill developed utilitarianism and hedonism, the view that pleasure is the only thing of true value. Bentham claimed we should evaluate actions based on a hedonistic calculus weighing the pleasure, pain, and extent an action causes. Mill emphasized that some higher intellectual pleasures have greater value than lower physical pleasures.
Unit 4 Utilitarian Ethics
Ethics seeks to address questions of morality and determine what is right versus wrong. There are two main approaches: consequentialism, which assesses the morality of an act based on its consequences, and non-consequentialism, which asserts actions are right or wrong in themselves regardless of consequences. Utilitarianism is a form of consequentialism that holds an action is morally right if it produces more overall happiness than any alternative action. Later critics argued utilitarianism failed to account for the quality of pleasure and could justify harmful actions.

UTILITARIANISM
Utilitarianism
is the moral doctrine that we should always act to produce the greatest possible balance of good over bad for everyone affected by our actions. By “good,” utilitarians understand happiness or pleasure. Thus, the greatest happiness of all constitutes the standard that determines whether an action is right or wrong. Although the basic theme of utilitarianism is present in the writings of many earlier thinkers, Jeremy Bentham (1748–1832) and John Stuart Mill (1806–1873) were the first to develop the theory explicitly and in detail. Both Bentham and Mill were philosophers with a strong interest in legal and social reform. They used the utilitarian standard to evaluate and criticize the social and political institutions of their day—for example, the prison system and the disenfranchisement of women. As a result, utilitarianism has long been associated with social improvement.
Utilitarianism tells us to bring about the most happiness for everyone affected by our actions.
Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill were important early utilitarians.
Bentham viewed a community as no more than the individual persons that it comprises. The interests of the community are simply the sum of the interests of its members. An action promotes the interests of an individual when it adds to the individual’s pleasure or diminishes the person’s pain. Correspondingly, an action augments the happiness of a community only insofar as it increases the total amount of individual happiness. This is what Bentham had in mind when he argued for the utilitarian principle that actions are right if they promote the greatest human welfare, wrong if they do not.
For Bentham, pleasure and pain are merely types of sensations. He offered a “hedonic calculus” of six criteria for evaluating pleasure and pain exclusively by their quantitative differences—in particular, by their intensity and duration. This calculus, he believed, makes possible an objective determination of the morality of anyone’s conduct, individual or collective, on any occasion.
Bentham rejected any distinctions based on the type of pleasure except insofar as they might indicate differences in quantity. Thus, if equal amounts of pleasure are involved, throwing darts is as good as writing poetry and baking a cake as good as composing a symphony; watching Shakespeare’s
Hamlet
has no more value than watching
Jersey Shore.
Although he himself was an intelligent, cultivated man, Bentham maintained that there is nothing intrinsically better about refined and intellectual pleasures than about crude or prosaic ones. The only issue is which yields the greater amount of enjoyment.

Utilitarianism
- Utilitarianism emerged as a moral theory that aimed to be based on empirical evidence and scientific methodology rather than speculative concepts. It evaluated actions based on their consequences and ability to produce the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people.
- Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill were early proponents of utilitarianism. Bentham argued actions should be evaluated based on their ability to maximize pleasure and minimize pain. Mill believed happiness involved higher intellectual and spiritual pursuits, not just pleasure.
- Later philosophers like Henry Sidgwick and G. E. Moore refined and critiqued utilitarianism. Sidgwick categorized moral theories and believed utilitarianism best reconciled individual and general happiness. Moore

The document discusses the moral philosophy of utilitarianism. It provides information on the key concepts of act utilitarianism and rule utilitarianism. Act utilitarianism evaluates the consequences of individual acts, while rule utilitarianism focuses on following rules that maximize well-being. The document also contrasts the views of Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill on utilitarianism and discusses how the philosophy addresses various moral issues.
Utilitarianism
Utilitarianism emerged from a desire to construct a moral theory through the scientific method based on empirical evidence rather than speculative concepts. Jeremy Bentham developed this view, arguing that humans seek pleasure and avoid pain, and the morally right act is that which produces the greatest happiness for the greatest number. John Stuart Mill modified this view to argue that some higher pleasures, like knowledge and virtue, are more valuable than lower pleasures. Later utilitarians like Henry Sidgwick and George Edward Moore further developed and refined utilitarian concepts.

The police in Nashville, Tennessee, paid $120,000over a 3-year period to informants and prostitutes inan effort to impact the illicit sex trade. The police
department paid informants “to touch and be touched” to
gather evidence of prostitution. A police captain
defended the practice by asking the question, “What is
the greater good?” He continued, “It may be distasteful
M04_ALBA5659_03_SE_C04.QXD 10/29/10 2:45 PM Page 36
to some people, but it’s better that we have those places shut down.”1 And, in fact,
the city had closed more than thirty-five sex-related businesses, such as massage
parlors and escort services. The money paid to informants came from seizures made
in other prostitution and gambling cases. It was admitted, however, that a certain
amount of sexual touching was usually necessary to show that the money being
offered was clearly for the purpose of a sexual act.
Critics of these tactics included the county district attorney, who believed, “It is
a little contradictory in letting the informant engage in the very act you’re trying to
stamp out.” A city attorney acknowledged that as little contact as possible between
informants and prostitutes is desirable, but “I’m reluctant to second-guess what the
police have done so far because it’s been so successful.”2
Are such police tactics ethical? Without knowing it, the persons involved in this
controversy were using the 200-year-old ethical concept of utility to determine the
appropriateness of a police strategy. An understanding of this ethical theory helps
resolve the dilemma posed by the police methods being used.

Compare Bantham's Idea of Ethics with Aristotle
Aristotle and Bentham both aimed for happiness as the final end in life, and focused on rational activity and reasoning as important to a good human life. However, Aristotle believed happiness must be grounded in human nature and experience, while Bentham's utilitarianism aimed for the greatest happiness of the greatest number. Additionally, Aristotle saw pleasure as accompanying virtuous activity, while Bentham sought to maximize pleasure and minimize pain according to his principle of utility.

Are we Having Fun Yet? Understanding Fun.
This document discusses the concept of "fun" and how it is understudied and undertheorized in economic anthropology. It argues that fun should be taken seriously as both a subject of study and as an end in itself. While fun is seen as transient and difficult to define, the document examines how fun serves important social functions in binding communities together and driving consumer markets. It also analyzes how notions of fun have been used historically to distinguish between social classes and modern vs. traditional societies.

Mill PPT Cover 7/11/2011
- 1. John Stuart Mill (1806-1873) An Introduction to Mill ’s form of Utilitarianism in comparison to Bentham’s
- 3. PLEASURE All types of pleasure and pain can be measured on the same scale Pleasures can be compared quantitatively because there is no difference between them What is good and bad for each person is a matter for each person to decide by following the hedonic (felicific) calculus Bentham once said that “quantity of pleasure being equal, push-pin (a simple child’s game) is as good as poetry.”
- 4. The Hedonic Calculus The Hedonic Calculus is: Democratic Egalitarian (classless) “ Everybody is to count for one, and nobody for more than one.” In keeping with the enlightenment thinking the Hedonic Calculus was a rational and scientific way to measure pleasure. Bentham claimed that goodness could be empirically (through experience) proven. “ No one person’s pleasure is greater than another’s”
