John Stuart Mill was raised in the shadow of the
friendship between his father, James Mill, historian
and philosopher, and Jeremy Bentham, at times a man
considered to be one of the leading intellects of
the 19th century. It is not surprising, then, that
elements of their views on utilitarianism and their
writings hold fundamental similarities, while also
demonstrating the extension from the earlier
perspectives of Bentham to the latter writings and
developed ideas and postulates determined by John
Stuart Mill. This 5 page paper compares and
contrasts the views of these two philosophers, and
evaluates the similarities as they distinguish the
connection between the two. Bibliography lists 5

John Stuart Mills: Utilitarianism.
[ send

(5 pp) Utilitarianism is an ethical theory developed
in the modern period by Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832)
and John Stuart Mill (1806-73) to promote fairness
in British legislation during the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries when the interests of the upper
classes tended to prevail and the sufferings of the
lower classes were neglected. Utilitarianism is an
ethical theory that calls for putting benevolence
into action. Mill interprets the term utilitarianism
as signifying any moral theory (the terms ethical
and moral are used synonymously by Bentham and Mill,
) in which acts are judged on the basis of their
utility. Mill further specifies that there is no one
conception of what constitutes utility and there is
no implication of a sect. The author expresses
dissention with "The Ultimate Sanction of the
Principle of Utility." Bibliography lists 3
