History

Utilitarianism is an ethical theory that was born in the eighteenth century and whose creator is called Jeremy Bentham. Utilitarianism seeks the greatest good, for the greatest number of people, that is, seeks happiness for all people.


John Stuart Mill, adept to this doctrine, argued that the human being is in a constant search to achieve the greatest pleasure. Mill placed spiritual and intellectual happiness in the first place and, in the background, bodily pleasure.


He argues that “utilitarianism is more profoundly religious [doctrine] than any other” because this doctrine is aimed at seeking the greatest happiness not only of one's own but also of one's neighbor. The pleasure and suffering that is related to God's love and punishment appears in this search for happiness. If he performs good deeds, he will be rewarded, but if he does bad deeds, he will be punished.

Why did Ulysses S. Grant not feel like rejoicing ( celebrating ) ?
mel-nik [20]

He did add that although he admired their strength of belief, he did believe that the cause they chose was the worst cause in the history of mankind and that they were in the wrong.

THE CINCINNATUS STORY

Picture

The Story of Cincinnatus

The early Roman nobleman Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus was an exemplary strategic consultant. In 458 BC, Rome was in peril. An enemy army stood at the city's gates — an adversary with new weapons and innovative offensive tactics.

Cincinnatus, who had retired to a small farm, was implored by the Senate to assume leadership through the crisis. Despite the risk that his family might starve if his crops went unsown, he took command of the Roman army and within sixteen days defeated its foes.

At the battle's end, he immediately relinquished his absolute authority and returned to his farm. Throughout history, Cincinnatus has been cited as a model of leadership, public service, civic virtue, and modesty.
