John Mills Utilitarianism

The basic moral principle of Utilitarianism is the principle of utility, or the greatest happiness principle. Johns Stuart Mill interpreted the principal of utility to mean that actions are right insofar as they result, in happiness such as pleasure, satisfaction, and enjoyment. As well as actions are wrong insofar as they result in the reverse of happiness such as, pain and suffering. Mills argues that the most moral action is always the one that provides the greatest happiness for the greatest number. Mills thinking is often described as consequentialist because he judges morality in terms of the outcome of an action. But he stressed that it wasn’t individual happiness but the happiness for the mass of people that mattered. For Mills Utilitarianism
