De què tracta
El llibre fundacional de l'utilitarisme: la moral i la llei s'han de jutjar per una sola vara, la quantitat de felicitat i de dolor que produeixen.
Context i història
Imprès el 1780 i publicat el 1789. Comença amb la frase de la natura que ha posat l'home sota dos amos sobirans, el dolor i el plaer, i d'aquí deriva tot: el «calcul felicific» que mesura intensitat, durada, certesa i abast; la classificacio dels delictes; i la idea que el castig nomes es justifica si evita mes mal del que causa. La nota sobre els animals —la questio no es si poden raonar ni si poden parlar, sino si poden patir— es l'origen de l'argument etic modern sobre els animals. Mill en va sortir, i despres se'n va apartar.

To the same work I must refer the analysis of the several possible modes of punishment, a particular and minute examination of the nature of each, and of its advantages and disadvantages, and various other disquisitions, which did not seem absolutely necessary to be inserted here.
