First published in 1991, The Greatest Happiness Principle traces
the history of the theory of utility, starting with the Bible, and
running through Plato, Aristotle, and Epicurus. It goes on to
discuss the utilitarian theories of Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart
Mill in detail, commenting on the latter's view of the Christianity
of his day and his optimal socialist society. The book argues that
the key theory of utility is fundamentally concerned with
happiness, stating that discussions of happiness have been largely
left out of discussions of utility, it also argues utility as a
moral theory, posing the question ultimately, what is happiness?
