Abstract
This paper investigates the rare presence of utilitarianism in nineteenth-century France identifying the possible causes of this absence and its reception that led to a naturalization own. It is therefore, interesting to see how from certain argumentative formations due to the writings of John Stuart Mill, authors such as Jean-Gustave Courcelle-Seneuil, and especially Jean-Marie Guyau developed an important philosophical body and near to the one Stuart Mill had done.
