Utilitarianism
By: John Stuart Mill
John Stuart Mill is the son of the late James Mill who educated him in carrying the Utilitarian
theory, with the help of Jeremy Bentham
...
John Stuart Mill thought that certain pleasures should be
prioritized over another, thus contradicts Bentham Mill's emphasis in legislation and social reform
...
The principle of utility is
also the acceptance of the foundation of values as a belief
...
This also shows that even if people are able to experience both things, and she/he choose
the one with much dissatisfaction, and put it over the less, it is what superiority
...
Recognizing the sort of pleasure are more
desired and useful than others is perfectly compatible with this kind of principle
...
These words
encompasses that we people must not settle to things that would change us into an animal in lower
orders, instead, we must uphold our standards, be a human dissatisfied, rather than a fool satisfied
...
The norms and principles for human behavior which, if
observed, could provide to all humanity, to the greatest extent possible, an existence comparable
to just that described, not only to them, but to the entire sensible creation, as far as the nature of
things permits
...
It both teaches us
that the ideal perfection of utilitarian morality is to do as you would be done by and to love your
neighbor as yourself
