The greater good principles
Utilitarianism highlights the claim on actions that
including lying as being morally acceptable when the resulting lie maximize benefits
and minimizes consequences and harm. These balances are contrary to Kant’s view
on lies. The general perspective is to strive for pleasure to avoid pain. Mill
objected that utilitarianism overvalued pleasure but explained that the end
result we want to produce (our goals) is what dictates our actions.
