John Stuart Mill

Holy Smoky! 'John Stuart Mill!' I'm impressed! Let's see. Methinks he's 'On Liberty.' Only two words of the book I can remember...

2. Gained some info & must say IMHO what’s best & moral/plus morale is often the hardest, most difficult,wrenching…

Hmm…know naught of him. You have interested me. I will research. By what you wrote, i am sure id say no…

You’ve written a poem that is thought-provoking, creating conversation below.

Dear Andrea, your wonderful pen spills a beautifully expressed, thought-provoking poem. Congratulations for your win in Brian's contest. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Oh this is so interesting dear sweet andrea! You do these so well, and you always pick personalities that deserve more recognition. I didnt know this person but now i do and i love the flow of this. Congratulations on your win too, pleasure always reading your work

Andrea, I like how you end with a great question. Apparently, utilitarianism means we should do what gives us pleasure and makes us happy. The question I have is how does this affect others and lead to a society that can last? It's a great question or set of questions that we could discuss for hours, days, months, or years. And you condensed it into 4 lines!

I had never heard of this man until your poem.. so thank you..

I have only one philosopher and that is God. Hugs xx

Dear Andrea, your poem really provokes profound contemplation on the enduring relevance of John Stuart Mill's philosophy. You challenge us to critically examine utilitarianism's moral implications in contemporary society, questioning its efficacy and ethical foundation. I love philosophy! - Blessings, Daniel
