What is Understanding Utilitarianism Ethics about?
Utilitarianism argues that an action is morally right if it maximizes happiness and pleasure for the greatest number of people. Jeremy Bentham first proposed this theory, focusing on quantitative pleasure, while John Stuart Mill argued for considering qualitative pleasure, such as intellectual pleasures. Both believed utility - the usefulness of consequences - determines morality, with the goal of achieving the greatest happiness for the greatest number of individuals.
