3rd Paragraph
Mill
Developed Benthams act UT because Quantitative VS Qualititive
Example of the sadistic guard
Immoral acts can be satisfied
Rule UT
Bases on what is good - truth, beauty, love and friendship
"the rightness or wrongness of a particular action is a function of the correctness of the rule of which it is an instance"
Based on certain rules that promote happiness, such as keeping promises
Higher + lower pleasures
Higher = music, theatre, art
Lower = eating, drinking, sex
"Bentham failed to recognise the deeper levels of human experience"
"It is better to be human dissatisfied than a pig satisfied; it is better to be Socrates dissatisfied then a fool satisfied"
Harm principles
The majority can only pressure the minority if it prevents harm
Not all pleasures are equal
"Human beings are not governed in all their actions by their worldly interests"
Modern applications
Preference UT
R.M.Hare (1919 - 2002)
Hare said that the preferences of the individual should always be taken into account
It suggests that, when deciding what the right thing to do, then 'pleasure' is replaced by 'best interests'
Negative UT
Karl Popper (1902 - 1994)
The right thing to do is to promote the least evil or harm
Reduce the amount of suffering for the greatest number
