How does Mill describe the basic moral standard of utilitarianism?

History

Ilya [14]2 years ago
5 0

For the individual to know how to discern the good from the bad deeds, that is, so that he can duly justify his choices, it is necessary to find a general criterion of morality. This criterion is presented by Stuart Mill as follows: <em>"The creed that accepts utility , or Principle of Greater Happiness, as the foundation of morality, argues that actions are right insofar as they tend to promote happiness, and wrong insofar as they tend to produce the reverse of happiness. and the absence of pain; unhappily, pain and deprivation of pleasure." </em>

It is according to this criterion that any useful action becomes legitimate. However, the happiness achieved does not make the utilitarian moral criterion a criterion that fosters selfishness.

Spiritual pleasures are what, according to Mill, provide true happiness. Indeed, utilitarian morality does not exclude altruism and dedication to the other.

According to utilitarian ethics, the principle of greatest happiness establishes that the actions taken must be capable of bringing maximum happiness to the greatest possible number of individuals. Now, maximum happiness for all (humanity) appears as the main objective of utilitarian philosophy.

Paul [167]
Ethnicity is like your culture. Language, race, and religion all play into your background and culture. However, politics are something that govern the country you live in -- they're not necessarily connected to your background. Therefore, politics would be the correct answer.

  • 28. Napoleon's Impact on Europe after the Napoleonic Wars

The Napoleonic Wars were a series of wars that changed European powers and produced a French hegemony in Europe for a brief period. The major changes of the wars on Europe were the rise of the middle class, the rise of commerce and industry and the shift of power because European monarchs could not restore old absolutism, so they had to make alliances with the new powers that emerged with the Napoleonic Wars.

  • 29. The accomplishment of the Concordat of 1801

The major accomplishment of the Concordat of 1801 was the restoration of the Catholic Church in France. Napoleon was given the right to nominate bishops, bishoprics and parishes and seminaries.

This agreement was important because during the French Revolution there were intense church reforms and the many confiscations of the church’s property and this mended the relationship.

  • 30. Role of plebiscites in Napoleon’s rise to power.

After the French Revolution, France became politically unstable and other European powers used this on their favor and tried to invade French territories. Because of that Napoleon became a famous figure because he was in the French military and won against Austria and Italy.

He used plebiscites to make himself Emperor of France since he could not do it in a legal way. In a simple way, he used plebiscites as a coup d’etat to take power to himself as Emperor and centralize the government.
