Açıklama
A moral and political principle defined through the protection of rights, equal respect for persons, and the fair distribution of benefits. In Mill’s thought, justice constitutes a special dimension of utilitarianism, concerned with securing individual rights and ensuring a just distribution of happiness. Although the sense of justice is a powerful moral sentiment, it is ultimately justified within the framework of general utility; thus, justice does not conflict with the utilitarian standard but rather gives it concrete expression. In debates concerning political and economic justice (for example, economic fairness and gender equality), Mill’s utilitarianism provides a framework that grounds claims for both liberty and equality.
