is a family of <a href="/wiki/Normative_ethics" title="Normative ethics">normative</a> ethical theories that prescribe actions that maximize <a href="/wiki/Happiness" title="Happiness">happiness</a> and <a href="/wiki/Well-being" title="Well-being">well-being</a> for the affected individuals.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span

utilitarian ideas encourage actions that lead to the greatest good for the greatest number. Although different varieties of utilitarianism admit different characterizations, the basic idea behind all of them is, in some sense, to maximize <a href="/wiki/Utility" title="Utility">utility</a>, which is often defined in terms of well-being or related concepts. For instance, <a href="/wiki/Jeremy_Bentham" title="Jeremy Bentham">Jeremy Bentham</a>, the founder of utilitarianism, described <i>utility</i> as the capacity of actions or <a href="/wiki/Subject_and_object_(philosophy)" title="Subject and object (philosophy)">objects</a> to produce benefits, such as pleasure, happiness, and good, or to prevent harm, such as pain and unhappiness, to those affected. </p><p>Utilitarianism is a version of <a href="/wiki/Consequentialism" title="Consequentialism">consequentialism</a>, which states that the consequences of any action are the only <a href="/wiki/Morality" title="Morality">standard of right and wrong</a>. Unlike other forms of consequentialism, such as <a href="/wiki/Ethical_egoism" title="Ethical egoism">egoism</a> and <a href="/wiki/Altruism_(ethics)" title="Altruism (ethics)">altruism</a>, utilitarianism considers either the interests of all humanity or all <a href="/wiki/Sentience" title="Sentience">sentient</a> beings <a href="/wiki/Equal_consideration_of_interests" title="Equal consideration of interests">equally</a>. Proponents of utilitarianism have disagreed on a number of issues, such as whether actions should be chosen based on their likely results (<i><a href="/wiki/Act_utilitarianism" title="Act utilitarianism">act utilitarianism</a></i>), or whether <a href="/wiki/Agency_(philosophy)" title="Agency (philosophy)">agents</a> should conform to rules that maximize utility (<i><a href="/wiki/Rule_utilitarianism" title="Rule utilitarianism">rule utilitarianism</a></i>). There is also disagreement as to whether total utility (<i><a href="/wiki/Total_utilitarianism" class="mw-redirect" title="Total utilitarianism">total utilitarianism</a></i>) or average utility (<i><a href="/wiki/Average_utilitarianism" class="mw-redirect" title="Average utilitarianism">average utilitarianism</a></i>) should be maximized. </p><p>The seeds of the theory can be found in the <a href="/wiki/Hedonism" title="Hedonism">hedonists</a> <a href="/wiki/Aristippus" title="Aristippus">Aristippus</a> and <a href="/wiki/Epicurus" title="Epicurus">Epicurus</a> who viewed happiness as the only good, the <a href="/wiki/State_consequentialism" title="State consequentialism">consequentialism</a> of the ancient Chinese philosopher <a href="/wiki/Mozi" title="Mozi">Mozi</a> who developed a theory to maximize benefit and minimize harm, and in the work of the medieval Indian philosopher <a href="/wiki/Shantideva" title="Shantideva">Shantideva</a>.

Let a beggar, pressed by hunger, steal from a rich man's house a loaf, which perhaps saves him from starving, can it be possible to compare the good which the thief acquires for himself, with the evil which the rich man suffers?...

Utility, within the context of utilitarianism, refers to people performing actions for social utility. With social utility, he means the well-being of many people. Mill's explanation of the concept of utility in his work, Utilitarianism, is that people really do desire happiness, and since each individual desires their own happiness, it must follow that all of us desire the happiness of everyone, contributing to a larger social utility. Thus, an action that results in the greatest pleasure for the utility of society is the best action, or as <a href="/wiki/Jeremy_Bentham" title="Jeremy Bentham">Jeremy Bentham</a>, the founder of early Utilitarianism put it, as the greatest happiness of the greatest number. </p><p>Mill not only viewed actions as a core part of utility, but as the directive rule of moral human conduct. The rule being that we should only be committing actions that provide pleasure to society. This view of pleasure was hedonistic, as it pursued the thought that pleasure is the highest good in life. This concept was adopted by Bentham and can be seen in his works. According to Mill, good actions result in pleasure, and that there is no higher end than pleasure. Mill says that good actions lead to pleasure and define good <a href="/wiki/Moral_character" title="Moral character">character</a>. Better put, the justification of character, and whether an action is good or not, is based on how the person contributes to the concept of social utility. In the long run the best proof of a good character is good actions; and resolutely refuse to consider any mental disposition as good, of which the predominant tendency is to produce bad conduct. In the last chapter of Utilitarianism, Mill concludes that justice, as a classifying factor of our actions (being just or unjust) is one of the certain moral requirements, and when the requirements are all regarded collectively, they are viewed as greater according to this scale of "social utility" as Mill puts it. </p><p>He also notes that, contrary to what its critics might say, there is "no known <a href="/wiki/Epicureanism" title="Epicureanism">Epicurean</a> theory of life which does not assign to the pleasures of the intellect ... a much higher value as pleasures than to those of mere sensation." However, he accepts that this is usually because the intellectual pleasures are thought to have circumstantial advantages, i.e. "greater permanency, safety, uncostliness, <a href="/wiki/%26c" class="mw-redirect" title="&c">&c</a>." Instead, Mill will argue that some pleasures are intrinsically better than others. </p><p>The accusation that <a href="/wiki/Hedonism" title="Hedonism">hedonism</a> is a "doctrine worthy only of swine" has a long history. In <i><a href="/wiki/Nicomachean_Ethics" title="Nicomachean Ethics">Nicomachean Ethics</a></i> (Book 1 Chapter 5), <a href="/wiki/Aristotle" title="Aristotle">Aristotle</a> says that identifying the good with pleasure is to prefer a life suitable for beasts. The theological utilitarians had the option of grounding their pursuit of happiness in the will of God; the hedonistic utilitarians needed a different defence. Mill's approach is to argue that the pleasures of the intellect are intrinsically superior to physical pleasures. </p> <blockquote><p>Few human creatures would consent to be changed into any of the lower animals, for a promise of the fullest allowance of a beast's pleasures; no intelligent human being would consent to be a fool, no instructed person would be an ignoramus, no person of feeling and conscience would be selfish and base, even though they should be persuaded that the fool, the dunce, or the rascal is better satisfied with his lot than they are with theirs. ... A being of higher faculties requires more to make him happy, is capable probably of more acute suffering, and certainly accessible to it at more points, than one of an inferior type; but in spite of these liabilities, he can never really wish to sink into what he feels to be a lower grade of existence. ... It is better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied; better to be <a href="/wiki/Socrates" title="Socrates">Socrates</a> dissatisfied than a fool satisfied. And if the fool, or the pig, are of a different opinion, it is because they only know their own side of the question...<sup id="cite_ref-32" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-32"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>32<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote> <p>Mill argues that if people who are "competently acquainted" with two pleasures show a decided preference for one even if it be accompanied by more discontent and "would not resign it for any quantity of the other," then it is legitimate to regard that pleasure as being superior in quality. Mill recognizes that these "competent judges" will not always agree, and states that, in cases of disagreement, the judgment of the majority is to be accepted as final. Mill also acknowledges that "many who are capable of the higher pleasures, occasionally, under the influence of temptation, postpone them to the lower. But this is quite compatible with a full appreciation of the intrinsic superiority of the higher." Mill says that this appeal to those who have experienced the relevant pleasures is no different from what must happen when assessing the quantity of pleasure, for there is no other way of measuring "the acutest of two pains, or the intensest of two pleasurable sensations." "It is indisputable that the being whose capacities of enjoyment are low, has the greatest chance of having them fully satisfied; and a highly-endowed being will always feel that any happiness which he can look for, as the world is constitute, is imperfect."<sup id="cite_ref-33" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-33"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>33<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Mill also thinks that "intellectual pursuits have value out of proportion to the amount of contentment or pleasure (the mental state) that they produce."<sup id="cite_ref-34" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-34"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>34<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Mill also says that people should pursue these grand ideals, because if they choose to have gratification from petty pleasures, "some displeasure will eventually creep in. We will become bored and depressed."<sup id="cite_ref-35" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-35"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>35<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Mill claims that gratification from petty pleasures only gives short-term happiness and, subsequently, worsens the individual who may feel that his life lacks happiness, since the happiness is transient. Whereas, intellectual pursuits give long-term happiness because they provide the individual with constant opportunities throughout the years to improve his life, by benefiting from accruing knowledge. Mill views intellectual pursuits as "capable of incorporating the 'finer things' in life" while petty pursuits do not achieve this goal.<sup id="cite_ref-36" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-36"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>36<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Mill is saying that intellectual pursuits give the individual the opportunity to escape the constant depression cycle since these pursuits allow them to achieve their ideals, while petty pleasures do not offer this.

Singer writes: "The racist violates the principle of equality by giving greater weight to the interests of members of his own race, when there is a clash between their interests and the interests of those of another race.

According to utilitarianism, the forms of life that are unable to experience anything akin to either enjoyment or discomfort are denied moral status, because it is impossible to increase the happiness or reduce the suffering of something that cannot feel happiness or suffer. Singer writes: </p> <blockquote><p>The capacity for suffering and enjoying things is a prerequisite for having interests at all, a condition that must be satisfied before we can speak of interests in any meaningful way. It would be nonsense to say that it was not in the interests of a stone to be kicked along the road by a schoolboy. A stone does not have interests because it cannot suffer. Nothing that we can do to it could possibly make any difference to its welfare. A mouse, on the other hand, does have an interest in not being tormented, because it will suffer if it is. If a being suffers, there can be no moral justification for refusing to take that suffering into consideration. No matter what the nature of the being, the principle of equality requires that its suffering be counted equally with the like suffering—in so far as rough comparisons can be made—of any other being. If a being is not capable of suffering, or of experiencing enjoyment or happiness, there is nothing to be taken into account.</p></blockquote> <p>Thus, the moral value of one-celled organisms, as well as some multi-cellular organisms, and natural entities like a river, is only in the benefit they provide to sentient beings.

If we did that, I could be completely outnumbered... No, the way we reconcile interests is through empathy. Empathy is one-to-one, since we only imagine ourselves in the mind of one other person at a time. Even when I empathise with 'the people' here... I am really imagining what it is like to be just one woman. I cannot imagine myself to be more than one person at a time, and neither can you."
