What reading level is Political Thought in England the Utilitarians From Bentham to Js Mill book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The usual utilitarian answer is, Happiness. But this happiness is not a man's own alone. His own " good " is THE UTILITARIAN POSITION 17 realized in conjunction with that of others ; and he and they alike are eager for a life of satisfaction and contentment (so it is maintained, especially by Bentham). But a satisfied, contented life is, in the ultimate analysis, a life of " pleasure " ; and so, to the utilitarian, Pleasure is the individual's ulti- mate end the aim of his being and the object ...of his desire.
What this fully means will be seen as we proceed ; meanwhile, we note the fact.
But happiness, even a man's own, if, in the circumstances of life, it cannot be obtained independently of regard to others, is neces- sarily dependent on the existence and organ- ization of the State. Given the position that happiness is universally desired, the attainment of it in a community is con- ditioned by the encouragement and limita- tions imposed by custom, law, and legislation. Hence, the utilitarian cannot dissociate the ultimate end of desire from political and State action.
