| Research Abstract |
Utilitarianism, a school of thought advocating the qualitative understanding of pleasure and pain, constitutes one of the mainstream traditions of modern British philosophy. The present research project reinterpreted utilitarianism from the viewpoint of "physicality," i.e. the consciousness of the materiality of human psychological experience. On the basis of the renewed understanding of utilitarian thinking thus obtained, the project then examined cultural-philosophical phenomena in Britain from the 18th to mid 19th century, including the issue of sensibility explored in literary and other intellectual discourses.
