Utilitarianism


Mill believes that happiness is where we maximize pleasure and minimize pain.   What is pleasure to one person may not be pleasure to another.  There are different qualities and quantities of pleasure in which we strive for the pleasure that is more worthy.  If we have adequate experience we choose one pleasure over the other.  The pleasure we should choose are the intellectual pleasures not bodily pleasures (base pleasures).   Naturalism is that throughout nature we find that all things go to the greatest happiness principle and the greatest happiness principle is the end.  We always act for the certain end purpose, they determine our goals.
