{"product_id":"2940153441900","title":"The English Utilitarians","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe English Utilitarians of whom I am about to give some account were a group of men who for three generations had a conspicuous influence upon English thought and political action. Jeremy Bentham, James Mill, and John Stuart Mill were successively their leaders; and I shall speak of each in turn. It may be well to premise a brief indication of the method which I have adopted. I have devoted a much greater proportion of my work to biography and to consideration of political and social conditions than would be appropriate to the history of a philosophy. The reasons for such a course are very obvious in this case, inasmuch as the Utilitarian doctrines were worked out with a constant reference to practical applications. I think, indeed, that such a reference is often equally present, though not equally conspicuous, in other philosophical schools. But in any case I wish to show how I conceive the relation of my scheme to the scheme more generally adopted by historians of abstract speculation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PublishDrive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175665811696,"sku":"2940153441900","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940153441900_p0.jpg?v=1764052428","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940153441900","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
