If Socratic and Aristotelean are the adj forms of those philosophers, then what is the equivalent for JS Mill?

Question

Millean? Millian? A more sophisticated, literary phrase than Mill-like!!

Answer 1

if we look at bentham's...no aquinas [thomas]...john stuart's dad...js himself...they were all aristotelean leaning (excluded middle)..weren't they?

perhaps spinoza might fit in here. but he was aristotelean also. none of them were cartesian though... i don't think... but then you have the degree....or are you just toying with us?

mabey ur a neitzie lover!!! in which case... who cares

Answer 2

Yes, the word "utilitarian" does come to the rescue here.

How about "Millish"? :)

Answer 3

Utilitarian.  Mill's philosophy has a name wherein Socrates and Aristotle wrote more generally without any descriptive monikers for their philosophical ideas.  Actually, Socrates didn't write; we only know him through Plato.  Cool?  I have a BA in Philosophy--yeah yeah, I also have the cliche crummy job that goes with studying for intellectual pursuits instead of thinking about a living.
