功利主义法学在西方法律思想史中占据极其重要的地位,其的代表人物边沁认为人的本性是避苦求乐的,追求功利就是追求幸福。但边沁的功利主义具有很大缺陷,尤其是它以大多数人的利益为出发点的理论忽视了社会上的少数人,而这些少数人正是政治上无权、经济上受压迫的弱势群体。密尔在坚持功利主义的前提下,修正边沁功利主义。密尔的新功利主义理论为保护弱势群体提供了合理充实的理论依据。
Utilitarian jurisprudence occupies an extremely important position in the history of western legal thoughts. Bentham, its representative, believes that human nature is to seek refuge from hardship and happiness, and pursuing utilitarianism is the pursuit of happiness. Bentham’s utilitarianism, however, has great flaws. In particular, its theory starting from the interests of the majority neglects the social minorities who are politically disadvantaged and economically oppressed people . Mill adhered to utilitarianism and amended Bentham’s utilitarianism. Mill’s new utilitarianism theory provides a reasonable and substantial theoretical basis for the protection of vulnerable groups.
