More about the book

Exploring the foundations of ethics, the book presents John Stuart Mill's argument that happiness is the ultimate pursuit for individuals. In five chapters, Mill critiques the simplistic view of utilitarianism, asserting that true enjoyment requires the development of higher faculties. He emphasizes the importance of community welfare over selfish desires, offers a rationale for the greatest-happiness principle, and discusses the origins of justice, linking emotions like revenge and compassion to moral considerations.
