Oxford Utilitarianism

Oxford Utilitarianism is a philosophical approach developed at Oxford University that aims to maximize overall happiness and minimize suffering. It evaluates actions based on their consequences, emphasizing that the best actions are those which produce the greatest good for the greatest number. The theory combines utilitarian principles with a careful, rational analysis of the likely outcomes, encouraging people to consider not just immediate effects but long-term impacts. It seeks a practical, evidence-based way to make moral decisions, balancing individual rights with collective well-being, aligning ethical judgments with what objectively benefits most people in society.
