Resumen del Recurso
UTILITARIANISM - "The greatest happiness for the greatest number"
ACT
Created by Bentham
Bentham was called a HEDONIST - This is because he said the rightness or the wrongness of an action could be judged by its consequences.
HE BELIVIES YOUR MOTIVES DO NOT MATTER
"GOOD CONSEQUENCES BRING ABOUT PLEASURE. BAD CONSEQUENCES BRING ABOUT PAIN"
Bentham thought pleasure could be measured/quantified. Due to this he devised the hedonic calculus
THE HEDONIC CALCULUS
The intensity of the pleasure
Duartion of the pleasure
Certainty of the pleasure
How near the pleasure is to you
How continous the pleasure is
Likeliness of pain and pleasure mixed together
How widespread the pleasure is
RULE
CREATED BY JOHN STUART MLL
MILL THOUGH THE QUANTITY OF PLEASURE SHOULD BE MEASURED, AS WELL AS THE QUANTITY
Mill criticed Benthams theory calling it SWINE. This is because he did not believe "ALL PLEASURES WERE OF EQUAL WEIGHT"
Mill compares humans to pigs. He says both humans and pigs experience lower pleasures, but only humans experience higher.
Even when humans are bored or experience dissatisfaction, you would still prefer to be a human not a pig.
HE DID NOT BELIEVE ALL PLEASURES WERE OF EQUAL WEIGHT - He distinguised two types of pleasures.
Lower pleasures
These are pleasures shared with animals
EATING
SLEEPING
SEX
Higher pleasures
These are pleasures only humans have
RELATIONSHIPS
IMAGINIATION
RATIONAL THOUGHTS
SECONDARY PRINCIPLES
MILL SAYS HAPPINESS IS TO COMPLEX AND OF AN INDEFINITE STANDARD TO APPLY TO HUMAN ACTIONS -
As humans we already know which actions produce happiness for society - e.g moral laws : do not steal --- MILL CALLED THESE SECONDARY PRINCIPLES
HOWEVER - if two secondary principles came into conflict he believs you should fall back onto the principle of utility.
Something which makes the most happiness.
This theory is:
RELATIVE
SUBJECTIVE
TELELOGICAL
