Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history of one of the most significant and influential ethical theories in English moral philosophy: Utilitarianism. The author meticulously traces the development of Utilitarianism from its inception in the ideas of the Cambridge Platonists, through its formulation by Richard Cumberland, and up to its refinement by later thinkers like John Stuart Mill and Henry Sidgwick. The book provides a comprehensive account of Utilitarianism's central tenets, exploring the theory's evolution from a somewhat crude form of egoism to a more sophisticated and nuanced ethical system that emphasizes the importance of social welfare and public happiness. The author also examines the key criticisms and objections that have been raised against Utilitarianism over the years, offering a balanced and thought-provoking analysis of the theory's strengths and weaknesses. Through its thorough examination of Utilitarianism's development and its influence on ethical thought, this book offers valuable insights into the evolution of moral philosophy and the ongoing debates surrounding the nature of right and wrong.
