In this paper, I will argue for the refutal of John Stuart Mill's ethical hypothesis of utilitarianism as a means of being appropriate for managing our ethical conduct as a society. At the center of the guideline of utility is the rule that we ought to complete deeds which yield the most joy; such activities are perceived as right. Deeds which deliver the inverse of joy ought to be avoided; these activities are perceived as wrong. (Mill, p. 461). Utilitarianism likewise urges us to contemplate…

Using the lens of mania, Gruber examined how increased positive emotionality shapes one’s emotional experience and perception of others during a conversation between couples about a distressing topic. Her research revealed that heightened positive emotionality leads individuals to have a more positive emotional experience and perception of other people, inducing a positively biased “rose-colored glasses” perception of the world.

There is something that comes off as intuitively correct in this connection between Rawls’ primary goods and wellbeing. For those who lack political rights and liberties and live in constant fear of arbitrary imprisonment from the state do seem to lack an important part of their well-being.

The theories of John Stuart Mill and Immanuel Kant are well known for their viewpoints of moral law. In this paper I will discuss the great differences between the two theories of both philosophers as well as review some of the main objections and rebuttals to their arguments. Further, I aim to prove that although the Utilitarian theory is often recognized as the ‘Happiness Theory’, it in fact allows for the sacrifice of some peoples’ happiness for the sake of maximizing the aggregate happiness…

If I had only five minutes to get to a job interview and I had to choose to press the button “Door Open” or “Door Close” for the two men thirty feet away pushing a large cart, I ought to press “Door Open.” According to Mill’s utilitarianism is “the creed which accepts as the foundation of morals “utility” of the “greatest happiness principle” holds that actions are right in proportion as they tend to promote happiness; wrong as they tend to produce the reverse of happiness” (Cahn,114).Ethical…

This is the hedonistic way of the utilitarian belief. They employed questions from the hedonistic calculus. For example, how bad the levels of discomfort will get (intensity), how long Ashley would have to live with such discomfort (duration), how it would affect the family…
