Summary: | En esta investigación se presenta y analiza los conceptos de mayor felicidad, la libertad individual en la teoría ética de John Stuart Mill y la evaluación crítica de la tensión entre el utilitarismo y los derechos liberales. La Mayor felicidad en conflicto con la libertad individual, ^debe sacrificar un utilitarista consecuente la libertad? Muchos creen que sí y que por lo tanto, utilitarismo y los derechos liberales no se apoyarían mutuamente. La libertad individual dentro del contexto más amplio del utilitarismo y su fundación hedonista fueron analizados, antes de que el principio de la mayor felicidad, como las bases morales de los derechos liberales. Se revisaron los elementos de los derechos individuales y su valor como tal para el bienestar humano, analizando una serie de consideraciones para la evaluación de la tensión entre la utilidad y la libertad en el pensamiento de John Stuart Mill. A continuación, presentamos una defensa de la compatibilidad entre estos dos conceptos y una defensa del utilitarismo de Mill como teoría liberal de los derechos individuales tomando en cuenta la teoría de justicia. El campo que se llevó a cabo esta investigación es la ética normativa y se basó principalmente en los dos textos representativos del pensamiento de John Stuart Mill: utilitarismo y la libertad. El principio de mayor felicidad, es una base racional para los derechos, y Mill defiende que respetando la libertad individual y los derechos liberales es lo que mejor sirve el florecimiento humano. |
Abstract: | This Dissertation presents and analyses the concepts of greater happiness and individual liberty in John Stuart Mill’s Ethical Theory, critically evaluating the tension between them and between Utilitarianism and liberal rights. When greater happiness conflict with individual liberty, should a consistent utilitarian sacrifice liberty? Many think yes, and so, think utilitarianism and liberal rights would not be mutually supportive. Individual liberty within the larger context of utilitarianism and its hedonistic foundation, was analyzed before the principle of greatest happiness as the moral bases for liberal rights. We reviewed the elements of personal rights and their value as such for human wellbeing, analyzing a number of considerations for assessing the tension between utility and liberty in the thinking of John Stuart Mill. We present then a defense of the consistency between these two concepts and a defense of Mill Utilitarianism as liberal theory of individual rights taking Mill's theory of Justice. The field in which this research was conducted is Normative Ethics, and was based mainly on the two texts representative of the thought of John Stuart Mill: Utilitarianism and On Liberty. The principle of Greater happiness is a rational basis for rights, and Mill defends that respecting individual liberty and liberal rights is what best serves our human flourishing. |
