Stewart Mill, the resolution of the case study considers the outcome of the moral decision and involves the weight of pain against pleasure, calculus, and a consideration to higher, elite pleasures. Mill’s utilitarianism is supported and influenced by Jeremy Bentham’s philosophy, both of which call for the weighing of the pleasures of an action against the pains of those actions. Furthermore, in making a moral decision, one should use calculus by simply taking a vote of the polis and adhering to…

Nevertheless, Sherlock Holmes was unequivocally not culpable for Dr. Roylott’s death! Sherlock Holmes found several pieces of evidence to make a logical prediction. Predictions are not always accurate; he did not know all the facts of the…

Direct utilitarianism (otherwise known as act utilitarianism) is a theory that was contrived by Jeremy Bentham. Direct utilitarianism incorporates the idea that the amount of pain or pleasure that will result from a certain act can be mathematically calculated by adding up certain factors. These factors include the act’s subjective intensity,…

Sherlock Holmes has become known as a tremendously intelligent and unique individual who has a strong passion for solving mysteries.
