Spencer et J.S. MIll - Index - John Stuart Mill (20 mai 1806 à Londres - 8 mai 1873 à Avignon, France) est un philosophe, logicien et économiste britannique. Il fut l'un des penseurs libéraux les plus influents du XIXe siècle. Il était un partisan de l'utilitarisme, une théorie éthique préalablement exposée par son parrain Jeremy Bentham, dont Mill proposa sa version personnelle. En économie, il est l'un des derniers représentants de l'école classique. Féministe précurseur, Mill proposa en outre un système de logique qui opère la transition entre l'empirisme du XVIIIe siècle et la logique contemporaine - L'utilitarisme est une doctrine éthique qui prescrit d'agir (ou ne pas agir) de manière à maximiser le bien-être global de l'ensemble des êtres sensibles. L'utilitarisme est donc une forme de conséquentialisme, théorie évaluant une action (ou une règle) uniquement en fonction des conséquences escomptées, qui se distingue de la morale rationnelle et notamment kantienne. - Fils de James Mill, filleul et disciple de Bentham, John Stuart Mill est le successeur immédiat de l'utilitarisme benthamien. Il s'en écarte toutefois en développant un utilitarisme indirect. Là où Bentham identifie welfare et plaisir, Mill définit le welfare comme bonheur. Ce faisant il s'écarte de l'utilitarisme hédoniste et propose un utilitarisme indirect. Le plaisir n'y est plus la fin de la moralité, il ne joue un rôle qu'indirectement, dans la mesure où il contribue au bonheur (du plus grand nombre). On doit aussi à Mill la reconnaissance de la dimension qualitative des plaisirs. Contrairement à Bentham, qui ne hiérarchise pas les plaisirs et s'intéresse uniquement à la quantité de ceux-ci, John Stuart Mill défend une différence de qualité entre les plaisirs. On peut ainsi préférer une quantité moindre d'un plaisir de plus grande qualité à une quantité supérieure d'un plaisir de qualité plus médiocre.

‎Scarce first edition of the first Danish translation of Mill’s seminal “Utilitarianism”, translated by the great Georg Brandes and with the most excellent provenance, namely that of the founder of the welfare principle, which laid the groundwork for the welfare state as we know it today, Harald Høffding, with his numerous handwritten notes, annotations, and markings, and later given to someone by Høffding’s pupil, the important Danish philosopher Frithiof Brandt. Mill’s “Utilitarianism” constitutes a classic within the field of moral and political thought and is considered ""the most influential philosophical articulation of a liberal humanistic morality that was produced in the nineteenth century."" (Encycl. Of Philosophy). Originally published as a series of three separate articles in 1861, it was collected and printed as a single work under the canonical title in 1863. This publication is now considered the classic exposition and defense of Utilitarianism in ethics, a revolution within moral philosophy. The work was translated into Danish by the immensely influential literary critic Georg Brandes, by many considered the greatest intellectual of his time. Brandes played a key role in introducing especially German and British thought to Scandinavia, most notably the works by such thinkers as Darwin and Nietzsche. He is also the first to translate Mill’s works and make them accessible to a Scandinavian readership. His translation of “Utilitarianism” appeared in 1872 and was responsible for spreading the utilitarian philosophy to a wider audience in the North, indirectly - through Høffding - contributing to the formation of the welfare state that the Scandinavian countries are so famous for. It was through the reading of primarily Mill and Bentham that Harald Høffding came to develop his welfare principle, a principle that he is the first in the world to work out, and the principle upon which the modern welfare state is founded. He is primarily inspired by Mill’s Utilitarianism, but comes to largely replace the conceptions of utility and happiness using instead the welfare principle as a specification of the yardstick that must be used to evaluate actions. “The object of the welfare-principle is not the individual or momentary inclination, rather the lasting vital necessities of the human race, and therefore it places the point of judgment at the effects of an action.” (Thyrring Andersen, p. 105). “In the abandonment of the Christian ethics, positivism had to try to give the grounds for a morality which does not seek refuge with a divine authority. The contribution of Harald Høffding lies in a continuation of the utilitarianism in Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mills, whose normative theories on ethics claim that the correct ethically is the one that compared to the other options produces the greatest amount of positive values. And that means that the ethical values of an action depend on its ability to increase the amount of happiness. The principle of utility is formulated this way: The greatest possible happiness for the greatest possible number of people. Among the problems in this ethics are how different forms of values can be compared, which yardstick they can be measured by, and how a just and/or fair distribution of boons can be based.” (Thyrring Andersen, p. 104). Høffding had his starting point in Utilitarianism, but he transcended the more narrow principle of happiness. His welfare principle does not identify the supreme good with the happiness of the individual, “but considers the utmost purpose of being as the appearance of men of sterling characters, who have a feeling of happiness in working for the common good. … a decisive precondition of this was the commandment concerning charity in the Gospels and the historical development of this in Christianity.” (Thyrring Andersen, p. 109). Georg Brandes was the leading intellectual of his time in Denmark and must be credited with bringing European thought to Scandinavia, not only through his incredibly popular and famous lectures, but also through his own writings and not least through his translations of the most important works of the period into Danish. In Denmark, Brandes was synonymous with “the modern breakthrough” and therefore, for most, also the symbol of democracy and what we today would call welfare-thinking. At a closer look, however, Brandes was also in many ways an anti-democrat and so influenced by the thoughts of Darwin and especially Nietzsche that his views came to be very much opposed to those of a society based on a welfare principle that Høffding came to develop. “[I]t was Høffding who was the first in the world to work out a welfare-principle, namely in his “Etik” (Ethics) in 1887. Today, Høffding is not widely known, but in his lifetime and up to the 1950ties he was an internationally famous philosopher, whose works were translated into many languages and who was several times nominated for the Nobel Prize.” (Andersen, A.T.: The Dialogic and Religious Theme of Welfare in Harald Høffding…, p. 104). His great work ""Etik"", in which he developed the welfare-principle, constitutes an ethical system. Here, Høffding discusses the principal questions in order to develop a scientific ethics, or a moral science if one will, analyzes the ethical principles that are expressed in ethical assessments, and on the basis hereof develops an individualistic and a social ethic that was way ahead of its time, but which found great resonance within the reading public. The book had an enormous impact. It appeared five times in Høffding’s life-time, sold extremely well, and was quickly translated into German and French – “Denmark had gotten its first internationally known and acknowledged philosopher, several decades before Kierkegaard had his breakthrough on the international scene.” (Koch, Dansk filosofi i positivisments tidsalder, p. 41 – translated from Danish). “Høffding became a mentor to many – not least because of the humanity that marks this book [i.e. Ethics] and because of the well-balanced treatment it gives of the social and political questions of the time, of the relationship between the sexes and between church and state, just to mention a few of the “important life conditions” it deals with. Students in personal crisis contacted him, and people in difficult circumstances wrote to him for advice. Not least because of his ethical view, he came to appear as the old, wise man of the nation… His influence in the neighboring countries was also great. For instance, his ethical considerations in the years around 1900 came to play a significant role for the young Swedish social democrats and for their conception of a coming welfare state.” (Koch, Dansk filosofi i positivisments tidsalder, p. 60 – translated from Danish). The opposing views of the two intellectual giants of late 19th century Denmark would develop into a public feud that is now known as “the great debate”, an acrimonious exchange between the two concerning the writings of Friedrich Nietzsche (running from August 1889 to April 1890). “The significance of the dispute is due largely to the fact that it constitutes the earliest public interpretation and evaluation of Nietzsche’s philosophy.” (William Banks: “The Great Debate”: Nietzsche, Culture, and the Scandinavian Welfare Society”, 2024, p. 133). The feud was begun by Brandes after having read Høffding’s “Ethics” from 1887, where he presented his welfare principle for the first time, a welfare principle he had developed under the influence of Mill’s Utilitarianism that Brandes had translated an published 15 years earlier. Brandes, ultimately, wholeheartedly joins the views of Nietzsche and dissociates himself not only from the welfare principle of Høffding, but also from the ideal of Utilitarianism. Frithiof Brandt (1892–1968) was a student and follower of Høffding. He succeeded Høffding as professor in philosophy and held the chair of professor of philosophy and psychology at the University of Copenhagen from 1922 to 1958. During his lifetime, Brandt was a significant figure in Danish philosophy and psychology, most notably with his works on Kierkegaard, and especially in Danish cultural life. “Harald Høffding, the Danish philosopher and historian of philosophy, was born in Copenhagen and lived there throughout his life. From 1883 to 1915 he was professor of philosophy at the University of Copenhagen. Høffding received a degree in divinity in 1865, but he had already decided not to take orders. A study of Søren Kierkegaard's works, and especially of his views on Christianity, had led to an intense religious crisis ending in a radical break with Christianity. Høffding sought in philosophy a new personal orientation and gradually developed into an extraordinarily many-sided liberal humanist. His philosophical development was influenced during a stay in Paris (1868–1869) by the study of French and English positivism… his activity as a scholar ranged over every branch of philosophy, including psychology. His works display a vast knowledge, a keen eye for essentials, and a critically balanced judgment. They were translated into many languages and widely used as textbooks. By the turn of the twentieth century Høffding's reputation was worldwide and he knew personally many leading thinkers. He was the outstanding Danish philosopher of his day, and in 1914 the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters assigned him the honorary residence of Gammel Carlsberg, where he lived to the end of his life. The residence later passed to the physicist Niels Bohr, a younger friend of Høffding.” (Frithiof Brandt, Encyclopaedia of Philosophy). “The Danish philosopher Harald Høffding was the first in the world to work out a welfare-principle. He expressed a dialogic and democratic standpoint, a fellowship and an ideal concerning equality, and consequently a distinct philosophical basis for the realization of the formation of the welfare state.” (Andersen, A.T.: The Dialogic and Religious Theme of Welfare in Harald Høffding…, p. (103).).‎

‎John Stuart Mill (1806-1873) est un auteur classique. Son “Système de logique” (1843) ne l'est pas moins. Cet ouvrage n'est pas, malgré son titre, une répétition de la logique d'Aristote, ni un manuel supplémentaire pour une discipline codifiée. En réalité, le Système est l'expression d'une philosophie nouvelle, chaînon indispensable qui relie Hume à Russell. Le “Système de logique” nous offre sans doute une récapitulation de tout ce qu'il faut entendre sous le terme de logique, mais il nous propose aussi une nouvelle théorie des sophismes, des noms propres, de la référence, et surtout de l'induction. C'est chez Mill que l'on trouve l'une des réponses les plus convaincantes au paradoxe de l'induction mis en évidence par Hume, comme l'on y lit la critique, devenue classique, de la déduction comme raisonnement stérile et circulaire. Enfin, et ce n'est pas la moindre contribution de Mill, le “Système de logique” met en place une théorie générale des sciences humaines et de leurs méthodes propres, nous rappelant ainsi que Mill est aussi l'auteur des “Principes d'économie politique”, et le contemporain de Marx. La question qui demeure, après Mill, est sans aucun doute, celle du rapport de l'histoire et de l'empirique en sciences humaines, une question dont le “Système de logique” se veut la réponse. ‎

‎Scarce first Danish edition of Mill's radical and enormously influential work on liberty, which ""remains his most widely read book. It represents the final stage in the growth of Utilitarian doctrine, and its central point is one which had escaped both Mill's father and Bentham."" (PMM 345).""On Liberty"" constitutes one of the most important documents of political liberalism. The ideas presented in this hugely influential work have remained the basis of much liberal political thought ever since its appearance, and the work has remained in print continuously ever since its initial publication. To this day, a copy of On Liberty has been passed to the president of the British Liberals, and then Liberal Democrats, as a symbol of office and succession from the party that Mill helped found. The work became etremely influential throughout all of Europe, and Mill's Utilitarian ideas also found great resonace in Scandinavia. In Denmark, great authorities such as Høffding and Brandes were deeply influenced by the ideas of Liberty and Utilitarianism. In ""On Liberty"" Mill famously supports the individual's sovereignty over himself and presents the basis for liberty. It is here that one of the most fundamental statements of liberal thought is presented for the first time, namely ""over himself, over his own body and mind, the individual is sovereign"". ""On Liberty"" constitutes a defense of the rights of the individual against the state, a justification of the freedom of the individual in opposition to what Mill calls the ""tyranny of the majority"". It is also in this work that the famous ""Harm principle"", or the principle of liberty, which stands at the very core of all liberal thought, is presented for the first time. ""In ""On Liberty"" (1859) Mill defended the importance of individual freedom of thought and action, arguing that the individual is the best judge of his or her own good and that society benefits from the experimentation that occurs in an atmosphere of liberty."" ("" International Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences"". Ed. William A. Darity, Jr.. Vol. 8. 2nd ed., 2008. p 553).""Mill realized that the ""greatest good"" of the community is inseparable from the liberty of the individual. Hitherto, liberty had always been considered relative, in relation to tyranny or oppression: Mill extended tyranny to include a custom-ridden majority, and declared that ""the sole end for which mankind is justified in interfering with liberty of action is self-protection"". [...] His arguments for freedom of every kind through speech have never been improved on. He was the first to recognize the tendency of a democratically elected majority to tyrannize over a minority, and his warning against it has a contemporary ring: ""We can never be sure that the opinion we are endeavouring to stifle is a false opinion"" and, if we were sure, stifling it would be an evil still""."" (PMM 345). ""Mill's son was to prove Britain's preeminent, or at least most famous, political philosopher of the nineteenth century, less for his writings on utilitarianism than for his System of Logic and his essay On Liberty, still today liberalism's chief manifesto."" (Robert Wokler, in: ""Europe 1789-1914: Encyclopedia of the Age of Industry and Empire"". Ed. John Merriman and Jay Winter. Vol. 5. 2006. p. 2393).‎
