Mill's Utilitarianism
- Refinement of Bentham's
- Mill revisisted the idea of happinessa dn
similar to aristotle's idea of eudaimonia,
said that happiness is that which is
wholesome, fullfilling and virtuous.
- He diffrentiated
between pleasure that
stimulated the mind-
higher pleasures and
pleasure that were
merely physical- lower
pleasures
- He claimed that human
beings could achieve higher
pleasures alone, as they
were more satifying
- Moved the calculation
of pleasure away from
quantity to quality
- Mill introduced the idea that what is right and
wrong for one is also right and wrong for the
other
- His argument is that:Things
are desirable. this is
because they bring
happiness. increasing
general happiness will
increase personal
happiness

similar to aristotle's idea of eudaimonia,

wholesome, fullfilling and virtuous.
- Rule utilitarianism
- Mill thought
previous
experience did
help us make
decisions.
- he argued that humans have
already developed some rules
that are universal in nature
and, if applied in any situation
they would lead to the greatest
happiness
- Moral actions are
those that conform
to the rules that
lead to the greatest
good
- Mill was not
seen to advocate
this rule
utilitarianism in
a strong form.
- He viewed
the rules as
helpful
guidance
rather than
obligatory.
- This view was known as
weak Rule Utilitarianism
and states that on certain
occasions the rules can be
disobeyed if a greater
amount of happiness will
result.
- Mill thought
