Mill's Argument for Higher Pleasures
- If competent judges prefer A to any amount
of B, then A is a higher
quality pleasure and is more desirable.
- Competent judges prefer pleasures of the
higher faculties to any amount of sensuous pleasures.
- Therefore, pleasures of the higher faculties
are higher quality pleasures
and are more desirable.
