New Utilitarianism

New Utilitarianism is a philosophical approach that focuses on maximizing overall happiness and well-being as the guiding principle for moral decision-making. Unlike traditional utilitarianism, which often emphasizes maximizing pleasure and minimizing pain, New Utilitarianism incorporates a broader understanding of well-being, including factors like health, relationships, and personal fulfillment. It considers both the short-term and long-term effects of actions on individuals and society, striving for a balance that ensures the greatest benefit for the most people. Essentially, it seeks to create a fairer, more equitable society by prioritizing actions that enhance collective happiness and minimize suffering.
