JOHN STUART MILLS-ART OF LIFE

(1) Mill proposes his Art of Life, but he also insists that it is not very developed — there is an immense amount of work to be done to get it in shape. We know relatively little about what will actually make our lives richly moral, useful, and beautiful. What sort of things might contribute to improving our understanding of how to enrich our lives in this way? That is, what could someone do to develop and extend the Art of Life?

(2) Do you think there are problems with the way Mill understands the Art of Life? If so, what are they?
