Name Course Instructor Date John Stuart's utilitarianism and its Applications in our Society John Stuart a nineteenth-century philosopher was a fresh mind that injected new ideas in England and the history of Liberalism and Social Theory. Famous for his article On Liberty Stuart assumes a different angle of looking at the way our society structure ranging from modern mindset to government rule. He did this in four main identifiable arguments all presented with compelling arguments and defended with vigorous applications. To begin with John Stuart was a champion of individual liberty at least in thought and writing. He posited that no human being should play master to another. He justified this with the coming of age of people in which we no longer need to duck behind one champion to survive. Also every human being is taken to be sovereign to his or her body. He or she is control are evident in the so-called democracy as the majorities in any country party or region impose their will on others in the form of government. The fact that it is only transient taking only a few years does little to console as the same authority is recycled every new term only with different faces. However with Stuart's ideology individuals can control their welfare on condition that no one interferes with other people without their consent. Work Cited Donner Wendy.
