John
Stuart Mill
(Londres, 1806 - Aviñón, Francia, 1873) Economista,
lógico y filósofo británico. Hijo del también economista James Mill, fue
educado de forma exclusiva por éste según los estrictos principios del Emilio
de Rousseau. Dotado de una inteligencia extraordinaria, a los diez años estaba
versado en griego y latín y poseía un exhaustivo conocimiento de los clásicos.
A los trece años su padre le introdujo en los principios de la lógica y de la
economía política, centrándose en este ámbito en la obra de Adam Smith y David
Ricardo.
Contributions to ethics
In the field of
ethics, Mill defended a kind of nuanced utilitarianism which can be glimpsed in
Bentham and influences that introduced a constant concern for inclusion in the
common concept of "utility" satisfactions derived from the free exercise
of imagination and critical awareness. On the main philosophical trends of his
time, Mill was in favor of the Comte positivism and intuitionism contrary
Hamilton.
Politically always
she showed great enthusiasm for the democratic form of government, tempered by
pessimism about the real impact on the welfare of their practice. His work on
logic and methodology of science coated importance at the time, primarily
through its constant search for a valid principle for the inference of general
laws; the footsteps of Hume, Mill defined causality as a falsifiable empirical
process he called "induction by enumeration."
