This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.
This Core Concept video focuses on John Stuart Mill's work Utilitarianism, specifically on chapter 4, where Mill discusses the nature of happiness and argues that virtue can -- and ought to -- be an important component in happiness. He also explains his views on how virtue comes to be viewed as a intrinsic good to human beings, through the agency of habit.

Hello There, Prof, I am watching your lectures in Ireland, and as a lifelong learner I find them very helpful. So thank -you
You're very welcome!
last of the Mill Core Concept videos. . . for the present
I have an a level test tomorrow for the new AQA Philosophy spec and this just ironed all the confusion I had! Thank you.
Glad it helped you
Thank you, now I understand what virtue means
Sergiirk Well. . . at least what Mill understands it to be - some of the classic virtue ethicists understand it in ways differing from this account
감사합니다!
Thank You so much.
Grateful Aussie.
You're welcome!
at 8:49 you are using the idea of prudential and or instrumental ideas of happiness :S I am currently trying to compare Kant and Mill's ideas of Happiness within the context of (some writer) on omelas and are using it in the context that can be secondary within context of their maxims?
That would be a longish conversation. Here's my site for tutorial sessions, if you're interested in booking one: reasonio.wordpress.com/tutorials/
I agree and would love to book a tutorial sessions with you; I will someday soon but quid pro quo doctor lol
jk
This was very interesting.For me it made a lot of sense of disagreements and disparagement where people from one culture or background accuse the other of performing activities that are 'pointless..useless' like an MBA grad telling a struggling musician that their practice is pointless..both because unlikely to result in material wealth but also because of not seeing it as an end in itself.
I also had Hegel in mind during this because he talks about development and evolution at the cultural and intellectual level.
What would you recommend from your series to bookend the Mill lectures????
+lyndon bailey What would I recommend from the Half Hour Hegel series, you mean?
Sorry.Wasnt very clear.I was wondering what you would recommend watching or reading before and after Utilitarianism
I suppose I'd suggest watching the Bentham videos as well, to get a good sense of the utilitarian tradition. Where you go after that, there's no "best" place
+Gregory B. Sadler From the glimpses of utilitarinaism I've encountered in popular culture, tv shows or books, most of what I've seen is very crude, nothing as subtle or intricate as J.S. Mill's formulation that you explored in the video above.Thanks again for this enlightening material.
and I hope you can teach a special course on virtue, from Aristotle to liberal virtue，then to modern virtue ethics such as MacIntyre,slote
That would be a massively long class!
^_^
thanks from China！谢谢
You're welcome!
