Açıklama
A sustained and responsible concern for the well-being of others, functioning as an organizing ethos within Mill’s liberal utilitarianism. Commentators emphasize that Mill regarded a character type that is sensitive to the interests of others and identifies with the collective interests of humanity as essential to the achievement of happiness. The concept of care goes beyond mere sympathy, encompassing the practical assumption of responsibility for the welfare of others and thereby showing affinities with contemporary ethics of care. In this way, liberty and utility in Mill’s system are connected not through selfish individualism but through the cultivation of characters who are genuinely concerned with the well-being of others.
