English Utilitarianism

English Utilitarianism is a moral philosophy that suggests the right action is the one that maximizes overall happiness and minimizes suffering for the greatest number of people. Developed in 19th-century England by philosophers like Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill, it emphasizes assessing the consequences of actions to promote the best overall outcomes. This approach considers the collective well-being rather than individual interests, guiding decisions based on what produces the most benefit for society as a whole.
