Utilitarianism

Utilitarianism was formed around early 19th century and the founder of Utilitarianism was Jeremy Bentham who was English philosopher. It was proposed by him in his 1789 book “Principles of Moral And Legislation”. It is the one of the most powerful and persuasive approaches to normative ethics in the history of philosophy. Jeremy Bentham created Utilitarianism as meaning of action and people’s happiness or pleasant and pain are linked each other. Utilitarianism signifies that an action is morally right if its consequences lead to happiness and an action is morally wrong if it ends in unhappiness. As you can see, Bentham wanted to describe all of our consequences are related to what we did either goodness/rightness or badness/wrongness. There

Because of him, many changes in the world scientifically and socially. He deed to create a new ethical system to work with the new needs of democracy is being re-found and with the new needs of society not run by the church. That’s why he created the Utilitarianism. As expected he was a philosopher, he had great thoughts and beliefs on Utilitarianism. As I said before, he believed that an act is right if it causes the greatest amount of good like pleasure or least pain for the greatest number of people, so if we do rightness for something, we can bring about good result at the end. The second thing that he believed is there must be two or more solutions when you face some troubles or problems.

Even if you focus on your act for leading to pleasant, eventually you should be always looking at consequence. He also believed that all people are motivated by pleasure and pain. His most famous policy was “greatest good for the greatest number”. This was formed by quantity of pleasure based on his belief. Here is his four more important thoughts including theories, such as Hedonic theory (which is also called Hedonist philosophy), teleological theory, Bentham's Utility Principle, Hedonic Calculus. Basically, he

I mostly agree with Utilitarianism that was reformed by Mill. I think that there is the link between our consequences and acts. If we want to lead to happiness or good consequence, we need to act in right or good way. If we have bad or wrong action, we are satisfied that it would lead to bad consequence and this is because of our action. I can also think of good things to Utilitarianism. I can agree with it because I know everyone wants pleasure in life as good consequence and I think it’s good to look at many points of view for solution. If we look at many points of view, not one way, we can understand that there are so many good solutions for us and which one is really the best way to solve the problem. I know Utilitarianism helps us to understand how our action is important for our consequences and even our
