2009-2-25 · In Chapter 4 of his essay Utilitarianism, “Of what sort of Proof the Principle of Utility is susceptible,” J. S. Mill undertakes to prove, in some sense of that term, the principle of utility.It has very commonly been argued that in the course of this “proof” Mill commits two very obvious fallacies. The first is the naturalistic fallacy (the fallacy of holding that a value judgment ...

MILL'S "PROOF" OF THE PRINCIPLE OF UTILITY 331 someone so smart should make the glaring mistakes people find in Mill's "proof" seems beyond belief Rightl. y so, for Mill did not make them. The appearance of rampant fallacies, I will argue, is due to rampant misun-derstandings of the argument. Indeed, once the real structure of the ar-

4 Mill distinguishes between the standard of conduct and “the criterion of morality,” treating the latter as determined by the former (ibid., IV, 9.5).In addition, Mill suggests, at least sometimes, that the morality of an action turns not directly on its effects, but on whether it accords with “the rules and precepts for human conduct, by the observance of which” the best results are ...

It may seem obvious that happiness is valuable, but is it the only thing valuable for its own sake, as opposed to being useful as a way to get something else? The 19th-century utilitarian philosopher John Stuart Mill (1806-1873) argues that it is.[1] His argument is notorious because some critics charge that it contains obvious errors. This essay considers whether Mill really

Read MoreImmediately in Mill’s proof of utility, he states that proof by reasoning is not rational for first principles. Then what’s to say that Mills interpretation of utility does not fall under the category of a first principal?

John Stuart Mill proposed that all policy precepts, be they in the areas of morality or prudence or aesthetics, are all subordinate to the precepts of the Art of Life. The value which he assumes in defining the Art of Life is the Principle of Utility. This principle, being normative rather than fact, can admit of no proof based solely on deductive inference. Yet Mill proposed considerations ...

Chapter 4: Of What Sort Of Proof The Principle Of Utility Is Susceptible. It has already been remarked, that questions of ultimate ends do not admit of proof, in the ordinary acceptation of the term.
