Several different philosophy topics are covered in this paper. Ranging from Plato's "Republic II" to Martha Nussbaum's Non-Relative Virtues: An Aristotelian Approach. The topic of ethics is discussed in detail in John Rawls' A Theory of Justice and Aristotle's "Nichomachean Ethics." In Utilitarianism, Mill suggests that pleasure and the absence of pain are the only things of intrinsic worth, and that these things are directly equated with happiness. Further, he suggests that higher pleasures are more valuable than lower ones. Also, Immanuel Kant's "Of the Sublime and the Beautiful" and David Hume's A Treatise of Human Nature is discussed.
