Bentham Utilitarianism

actions should be based off of pain and pleasure

• causes pleasure - ought to do it
• causes pain - ought not to do it.

approves or disapproves of an action based on its tendancy to augment or diminish pleasure

• Intensity - pain/pleasure 1-10 (force/vivid)
• Duration - how long
• Certainty/Uncertainty
• Propinquity (nearness)/Remoteness
• Fecundity (fruitfulness) - will it produce more of the same?
• Purity - mixed with opposite?
• Extent - how many people affected

Mathematical and objective. Calculate this and then decide. If pleasurable

yes

Not egoism because its objective and intrinsic. Or rather where its coming from is

• Pig has 1000 units of pleasure
• Human has 950 units of pleasure 

so according to bentham seems like you'd save the pig because of quantity of pleasure

• 1. Principle of Asceticism
• 2. Principle of sympathy and antipathy

• right - decreases pleasure
• wrong - increases pleasure 

This principle is unnatural b/c you cannot will it for an extended time

• Right if the person approves of it. 
• Wrong if the person disapproves of it 

• ** Try to impose my preference on you.
• Personal pleasure --> try to impose my preference on you

• 1. Physical Sensation
• 2. Political/Legal/Gov
• 3. Moral Social Interpersonal Conflict
• 4. Religious - God
