Description

Nature: The Utility of Religion and Theism by John Stuart Mill is a collection of three essays where Mill critically examines the concepts of nature, religion, and theism. In “Nature,” Mill critiques the idea that nature is inherently good, arguing that moral decisions should not simply imitate natural processes. In “The Utility of Religion,” he explores whether religion is necessary for moral behavior. In “Theism,” he presents a skeptical view of religious belief, questioning traditional arguments for the existence of God. This work provides insight into Mill’s secular humanism and is essential for those interested in philosophy of religion and ethics.
