Difference Between Hume And Mill

Hume & Mill
David Hume and John Stuart Mill are both philosophers that believe in a higher power (god(s)). They are primarily concerned with the thought process behind human action. Their main discussion points are on the moral values of humans, and the difference between what is moral and what is just, or any combination of the two.
Hume in “An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals” discusses his understanding of the principles of morals, benevolence, and justice.

If someone were to not help another person, they would be seen as selfish. If they are seen as selfish they can’t really love themselves because they will never be satisfied, since true satisfaction comes from the soul after doing a moral action. If they do not experience the feeling of satisfaction, they lose what is pleasurable and the general public will not agree with their actions. If the public does not agree

He points out that there are plenty of our animal instinct that are a certain point in time were useful and after a certain time, became useless. An example of this, presented by Professor Seltzer at Rowan University, is how humans have a taste for sweet things and it was useful because it helped us eat fruit that we would need. Now we use that sense to eat things such as candy, which is not good for us at all. According to Lauren F.
