The text describes Henry Sidgwick’s 1874 publication, *The Methods of Ethics*, a foundational work that established utilitarianism as the dominant interpretation within philosophical discourse. Sidgwick, in a brief volume, laid out the core tenets of utilitarianism, defining it as the ethical theory where actions objectively right are those maximizing overall happiness. He explicitly acknowledged that this calculation must account for the happiness of all those affected by the conduct. The text then lists a vast timeline of dates, spanning from December 2005 to December 2026, indicating the extensive historical context of utilitarian thought and Sidgwick’s influential role in shaping its development. |
