Abstract:
|
In this paper I discuss J. S. Mill's views on slavery and emancipation. In the first half of the paper, I show that his opposition to slavery rests primarily on a utilitarian analysis of its effects on the characters of the members of slaveholding society. In the second half, I examine Mill's views on how the emancipation of slaves ought to proceed. While critical of his failure to mention the need to compensate freed slaves, I present a qualified defense of his claim that the former slave owners have a right to compensation. |
