Utilitarianism began as a movement for social reform that changed the world, based on the ideal of maximizing pleasure and minimizing pain. There is a tendency to enter into debates for and against the ethical doctrine of Utilitarianism without a clear understanding of its basic concepts. The Pursuit of Happiness now offers a rigorous account of the foundations of Utilitarianism, and vividly sets out possible ways forward for its future development. To understand Utilitarianism, we must understand utility: how is it to be measured, and how the aggregate utility of a group can be understood. Louis Narens and Brian Skyrms, respectively a cognitive scientist and a philosopher, pursue these questions by adopting both formal and historical methods, examining theories of measuring utility from Jeremy Bentham, the founder of the Utilitarian movement, to the present day, taking in psychophysics, positivism, measurement theory, meaningfulness, neuropsychology, representation theorems, and the dynamics of formation of conventions. On this basis, Narens and Skyrms argue that a meaningful form of Utilitarianism that can coordinate action in social groups is possible through interpersonal comparison and the formation of conventions.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident,--that all men are createdequal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certaininalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and THEPURSUIT OF HAPPINESS."--The Declaration of Independence ofthe United States of America."The sun and stars that float in the open air,The apple-shaped earth and we upon it, surely the drift of them issomething grand,I do not know what it is except that it is something grand, andthat it is Happiness."--Walt Whitman.PART I. Happiness as the Aim of Life.I. IS A GUIDE TO HAPPINESS POSSIBLE? AND, IF POSSIBLE, IS IT DESIRABLE?Objections to the Pursuit of Happiness as a Low and Selfish Aim; Answered by theFact that we Cannot do Otherwise than Pursue it; Enjoyment is not a Sin, but aDuty; No One Can Impart Happiness who does not Possess it Himself; It isDesirable, therefore, that Men be Taught How to become Happy; Nor is this aCommendation of Selfishness,The pursuit of happiness,--the pursuit of one's own happiness,--is it a vainquest? and, if not vain, is it a worthy object of life?There have been plenty to condemn it on both grounds. They have said that theendeavor is hopeless; that to study the art of being happy is like studying the art ofmaking gold, which is the only art by which gold can never be made. Nothing, theyadd, is so unpropitious to happiness as the very effort to attain it.They go farther. "Let life," they proclaim, "have a larger purpose thanenjoyment." They quote the mighty Plato, when he demands that the right aim ofliving shall stand apart, and out of all relation to pleasure or pain. They declare thatthe theory of happiness as an end is the most dangerous of all in modernsociology--the tap-root of the worst weeds in the political theories of the day, forthe reason that the individual pursuit of enjoyment is necessarily destructive of thatof society at large. Moreover, they urge, who dares write of it? For he who has notenjoyed it, cannot speak wisely of it; and in him who has attained it, 'twereinsolence to boast of it.Over against these stands another school, not, by any means, solely a modernschool. If that boasts Plato as its leader, this can claim Aristotle as its master. It iswith the single aim to become happier, said that wise teacher, that we deliberatelyperform any act of our lives. This is the final end of every conscious action of man.That alone is the true purpose of existence, which, by itself, and not as a means tosomething else, makes life worth living and desirable for its own sake; andhappiness--happiness alone--fulfills this requirement.Through the ages this conflict has continued. We find the thoughtful Pascaldeclaring that every free act of the will has, and can have, no other end in viewthan the increase of the individual happiness, be it so seemingly inconsistent asdrowning or hanging oneself; while the distinctively modern school of socialphilosophers, without any exception, pin to their banners the maxim of their master,Jeremy Bentham, "The common end of every person's efforts is happiness;" andthey love to confound the ascetics by proclaiming, with Spencer, that "Withoutpleasure there is no good in life;" or asserting, with Ward, that the sole aim of aright sociology is the organization of happiness. Nay, they have gone so far as toproject a series of sciences by which the human race is to reach a condition ofentire enjoyment. They give us "Eudæmonics," or the art of the attainment of wellbeing;"Hedonism," or the theory of the securing of pleasure; and even the"Hedonical Calculus," by which we can to a nicety calculate how much any object, ifsecured, will add to our felicity.

'An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation' is a book by the English philosopher and legal theorist Jeremy Bentham first published in 1789. Labelled as Bentham's "most important theoretical work," it is where Bentham develops his theory of utilitarianism, in respect of ethical theory, and is the first major book on the topic. Bentham seeks to determine what a system of laws would look like if it was constructed on a purely utilitarian basis.

Teaching isn't all about teaching; new teachers quickly realise that they need to be lion tamers too. Controlling a class isn't something that comes naturally to everyone - but it can be learned. This no-nonsense guide tells teachers what the teacher training didn't, and offers instant strategies for dealing with the most common, and extreme, classroom scenarios. Using his experiences of teaching in inner-city schools, as Behaviour Guru on the TES advice forum and working as a nightclub bouncer, Tom Bennett helps teachers, old and new, to assert their authority in the classroom.
