ESSAY ON: Utilitarianism and the Distinction Between Persons

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: This 5 page report discusses the ideas of 19th century philosopher, John Stuart Mill, who was certain that the highest normative principle is that, “actions are right in proportion as they tend to promote happiness; wrong as they tend to produce the reverse of happiness.” This is his fundamental principle of utility. However, it does not address the issue that there is a very real distinction between people and that one’s happiness is not more valid than that of another. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
