An Examination Of The Utilitarian Philosophy (1870) - John Grote - Bog

An Examination Of The Utilitarian Philosophy is a book written by John Grote in 1870. The book provides a detailed analysis and critique of the utilitarian philosophy, which is based on the principle of maximizing happiness or pleasure and minimizing pain or suffering. Grote examines the origins and development of utilitarianism, as well as its key proponents, including Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill. He also explores the key criticisms of utilitarianism, including the problem of justice and the difficulty of measuring pleasure and pain. Grote argues that while utilitarianism has some merits, it ultimately falls short as a comprehensive ethical theory. The book is considered an important contribution to the field of moral philosophy and remains relevant today for its insights into the limitations of utilitarianism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
