Document Summary
Utilitarianism to be a thesis about the right: it says that the right act is the act maximizes the good. The sophisticated modern utilitarian does not for a moment believe that the good is exhausted by the pleasant. Good includes the pleasant includes distributive equality. What a person ought to do is to choose the act which, of all the acts open to the person would issue in the obtaining of the best total outcome. We should regard, good, like and big there is no such property as goodness. We could say that there is namely the kind thing to use for holding down a pile of papers which are about to blow all over, or thing to use in the collage. Perhaps good people are good at or to o for something: but that she is good at or to or for something wasn"t at all what i meant to be saying of her in saying what i did.
