John Stuart Mill (20 May 1806 – 8 May 1873) was a British philosopher and civil servant. An influential contributor to social theory, political theory, and political economy, his conception of liberty justified the freedom of the individual in opposition to unlimited state control. He was a proponent of utilitarianism, an ethical theory developed by Jeremy Bentham, although his conception of it was very different from Bentham's. Hoping to remedy the problems found in an inductive approach to science, such as confirmation bias, he clearly set forth the premises of falsification as the key component in the scientific method. Mill was also a Member of Parliament and an important figure in liberal political philosophy. From Wikipedia under the

"Thus it would often be expedient, for the purpose of getting over some momentary embarrassing, or attaining some object immediately useful to ourselves or others, to tell a lie." Asked by lisa lang - Wed May 30 08:01:30 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Utilitarianism is the greatest good for the greatest number of people. If a lie brings about goodness then it is excused under utilitarianism unlike philosophies where principles are upheld or Kant's categorical imperative where actions are acted as if everyone should do that. In utilitarianism the end justifies the means as long as the end brings about a greater good for a greater number of people than the loss in the means. Thus it would often be alright to lie if it produced some good, even getting over embarrassment. There can be complications with lying to save embarrassment or attain some object. If the lie was found out you could get into trouble. The object in someone elses hands could potentially produce a greater good.
