QR code
"The English Utilitarians, Volume 2" by Leslie Stephen is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book primarily focuses on significant figures related to the Utilitarian movement, particularly James Mill, and investigates the evolution of Utilitarian thought and its applications in various reform movements during the period. The work highlights the interplay between philosophical ideas and practical reforms in political theory and societal structures. At the start of this
volume, Stephen introduces James Mill, setting the stage for an exploration of his early life, education, and the profound influence he had on the development of Utilitarian philosophy. Mill is depicted as a figure molded by his Scottish upbringing and his relationship with Jeremy Bentham, from whom he inherited a commitment to disseminating and advocating for Utilitarian principles. The opening portion delves into Mill's struggles and ambitions, detailing his early pursuits in divinity, the challenges he faced in finding a stable career, and his eventual shift towards journalism and education, which laid the groundwork for his later contributions to political and social reform.
