(5 pp) Utilitarianism is an ethical theory
developed in the modern period by Jeremy Bentham
(1748-1832) and John Stuart Mill (1806-73) to
promote fairness in British legislation during the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries when the
interests of the upper classes tended to prevail
and the sufferings of the lower classes were
neglected. Utilitarianism is an ethical theory that
calls for putting benevolence into action. Mill
interprets the term utilitarianism as signifying
any moral theory (the terms ethical and moral are
used synonymously by Bentham and Mill, ) in which
acts are judged on the basis of their utility. Mill
further specifies that there is no one conception
of what constitutes utility and there is no
implication of a sect. The author expresses
dissention with "The Ultimate Sanction of the
Principle of Utility."
