Mill & Comte/ On Morality

Abstract: A 5 page research paper that contrasts and compares the moral philosophy of Auguste Comte and John Stuart Mill. The writer argues that the nineteenth century was a turbulent time that witnessed how advances in scientific knowledge and the Industrial Revolution literally transformed the world. To many philosophers, such as Auguste Comte and John Stuart Mill, it appeared that new times called for new ways of thinking and that there was an urgent need for new institutions among human societies that would be better suited to the changing environment that they witnessed all around them. Citing their long correspondence, the writer further argues that their philosophies were very similar while noting on what areas they disagreed. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
