Philosophy 103
Study questions:  Mill, "Utilitarianism" (Chpt. 5)


1.  Mill thinks that justice cannot simply be a matter of conformity to law.  Why not?

2.  According to Mill, what is it to have a right?  How are rights connected to justice?

3.  Mill thinks that intuitive principles of justice can often conflict.  How does he illustrate
        this?  What role does utility have in addressing these conflicts?

4.  In Chpt. 5 Mill's main concern is to explain the nature of justice and its connection to
        utility.  What is his view in the end?  What is justice?  How is it connected to utility?
