Mill

Past Masters (Oxford)

by William Thomas

Economist, philosopher, civil servant, and politician, John Stuart Mill (1806-1873) made his mark as a liberal in Victorian society. His major works--System of Logic and Principles--as well as his famous essays--"On Liberty" and "Women"--reveal his extraordinary skill at clarifying difficult political and philosophical problems. Based on a detailed assessment of the influences on Mill's life, William Thomas traces the main ethical, economic, and psychological doctrines explored in his work and offers an unusual interpretation of the origins and development of Mill's philosophy.

جان استیوارت میل ( ۱۸۰۶....۱۸۸۳) فیلسوف و اندیشمند انگلیسی که در حوزه فلسفه و فلسفه سیاسی و جامعه شناسی فعالیت داشت و مدتی هم نماینده مجلس عوام بود
او در تعریف حجامعه خوشبخت می گوید

"" جامعه خوشبخت جامعه ای است شامل تعداد زیادی کارگر که دستمزد خوبی می گیرند. ثروت در آن جامعه انبوه نیست مگر ثروتی که در طول عمر یک فرد کسب و بر هم انباشته شده باشد. اما در جامعه خوشبخت، افراد بسیار بیشتری نسبت به حال حاضر( در انگلستان قرن نوزدهم) نه تنها از زحمت فرساینده فارغ خواهند بود، بلکه با فراغت بیشتر جسمانی و ذهنی و روحی از کارهای مکانیکی، آزادانه از مواهب زندگی بهره برداری خواهند کرد و نمونه و سرمشقی برای طبقاتی از مردم خواهند شد که شرایطی تا اندازه مطلوب برای رشد خویش ندارند
