Best known for arguing that "it is the greatest happiness of the greatest number that is the measure of right and wrong," utilitarianism was developed by the radical philosophers, critics, and social reformers William Godwin (the husband of Mary Wollstonecraft and father of Mary Shelley), Jeremy Bentham, John Stuart and Harriet Taylor Mill, and Henry Sidgwick. Together, they had a profound influence on nineteenth-century reforms, in areas ranging from law, politics, and economics to morals, education, and women's rights. Their work transformed life in ways we take for granted today. Bentham even advocated the decriminalization of same-sex acts, decades before the cause was taken up by other activists. Yet in part because of its misleading name and the caricatures popularized by figures as varied as Dickens, Marx, and Foucault, utilitarianism is sometimes still dismissed as cold, calculating, inhuman, and simplistic. By revealing the fascinating human sides of the remarkable pioneers of utilitarianism, Schultz provides a richer understanding and appreciation of their philosophical and political perspectives - one that also helps explain why utilitarianism is experiencing a renaissance today and is again being used to tackle some of the world's most serious problems. 001390005 60010 $$aGodwin, William,$$d1756-1836. 001390005 60010 $$aBentham, Jeremy,$$d1748-1832. 001390005 60010 $$aMill, John Stuart,$$d1806-1873. 001390005 60010 $$aSidgwick, Henry,$$d1838-1900. 001390005 60017 $$aBentham, Jeremy,$$d1748-1832.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00033662 001390005 60017 $$aGodwin, William,$$d1756-1836.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00050898 001390005 60017 $$aMill, John Stuart,$$d1806-1873.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00030255 001390005 60017 $$aSidgwick, Henry,$$d1838-1900.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00092073 001390005 60017 $$aBentham, Jeremy$$d1748-1832$$2gnd$$0(DE-588)118509187 001390005 60017 $$aGodwin, William$$d1756-1836$$2gnd$$0(DE-588)118540033 001390005 60017 $$aMill, Harriet Hardy Taylor$$d1807-1858$$2gnd$$0(DE-588)119273845 001390005 60017 $$aMill, John Stuart$$d1806-1873$$2gnd$$0(DE-588)118582461 001390005 60017 $$aSidgwick, Henry$$d1838-1900$$2gnd$$0(DE-588)118797050 001390005 650_0 $$aUtilitarianism$$xHistory. 001390005 650_0 $$aPhilosophers$$vBiography. 001390005 650_0 $$aPhilosophy$$xHistory. 001390005 650_7 $$aPhilosophers.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01060746 001390005 650_7 $$aPhilosophy.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01060777 001390005 650_7 $$aUtilitarianism.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01163333 001390005 650_7 $$aPhilosoph$$2gnd$$0(DE-588)4045790-4 001390005 650_7 $$aUtilitarismus$$2gnd$$0(DE-588)4137512-9 001390005 65507 $$cv$$aBiographies.$$2aat 001390005 655_7 $$aBiographies.$$2lcgft 001390005 655_7 $$aBiographies.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01919896 001390005 655_7 $$aHistory.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411628 001390005 852__ $$bgen 001390005 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1390005$$pGLOBAL_SET 001390005 980__ $$aBIB 001390005 980__ $$aBOOK 001390005 994__ $$aC0$$bISE
