Journal of the history of ideas, vol. 16, no. 1, 1955, pp. 76–88
Abstract
The Fabians and Utilitarianism were two distinct political movements in British history. Despite their denials, the Fabians shared several similarities with the earlier Utilitarian movement, including their commitment to empiricism, gradualism, and the importance of education. Both movements aimed to improve society through political and economic reforms. However, while the Utilitarians focused on maximizing happiness and well-being, the Fabians sought to address issues of social inequality and class conflict. – AI-generated abstract.
