The methodology: The method I have used throughout my project is the hermeneutic interpretive, as I attained all my information from books and the internet.<\/p>\n
Mill is associated with my territory because his philosophy is based on Hedonism: Addiction is based on pleasure and addicts do it to release pain. This is also following Mill\u2019s principle of Utilitarianism. Also, I have explored Mill\u2019s work on education; his basic doctrine related to addiction would be that a good education from a young age would prevent behaviours like addiction occurring. He distinguishes higher and lower pleasures, higher pleasures being things such as; theatre and literature. Thus an alternative for addiction, for Mill, could be through art.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
