But he can learn to bear its imperfections, if they are at all bearable; and they will not make him envy the being who is indeed unconscious of the imperfections, but only because he feels not at all the good which those imperfections qualify. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e It is better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied; better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied. And if the fool, or the pig, is of a different opinion, it is only because they only know their own side of the question.\" \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e--- John Stuart Mill, Utilitarianism\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e John Stuart Mill's book Utilitarianism is one of the most influential and widely-read philosophical defenses of utilitarianism in ethics. The essay first appeared as a series of three articles published in Fraser's Magazine in 1861; the articles were collected and reprinted as a single book in 1863. It went through four editions during Mill's lifetime with minor additions and revisions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Although Mill includes discussions of utilitarian ethical principles in other works such as On Liberty and The Subjection of Women, Utilitarianism contains Mill's only major discussion of the fundamental grounds for utilitarian ethical theory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Stuart Mill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1535535660\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781535535663\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/29\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 70\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.17d","brand":"John Stuart Mill","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44067259810047,"sku":"9781535535663","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3c102e96-937b-4d76-9fb1-71bcf3d10e88.jpg?v=1685412159","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/utilitarianism-john-stuart-mill-9781535535663","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
