Click here for Roger Crisp’s excellent podcast on Bentham and Mill, explaining the hedonistic view of Bentham and Mill. Can we measure pleasure?  How did Bentham’s pupil, Mill, react against this view?  Note: Roger Crisp maintains Mill always remained a hedonistic act utilitarian whereas many would argue, following J.O. Urmson, Mill moves on to become a eudaimonistic rule utilitarian, with views nearer to Aristotle. In my handout I side with Urmson – I think Mill was a eudaimonistic rule utilitarian. A finite amount of intellectual pleasures are better, Mill believed, than a lifetime of eating Mars Bars. (13 minutes)
