Philosophy 103
Study questions:  Mill, Utilitarianism, Chpt. 3


1.  In Chpt. 3 Mill turns to the question of what the "sanction" of morality is?  What exactly does
        he mean by this.

2.  Mill later distinguishes between "sanctions" that are internal to a person and those that are
        external.  What are the differences between these types?  What are examples of each?

3.  What role does Mill think sympathy has in the function of internal sanctions?  What role
        does education have?

4.  Given this discussion, how would Mill answer the question, "Why should I be moral?"  
        Compare and contrast this with the answers of other philosophers we have read this
        semester.
