Question

Jeremy Bentham and the rest of the utilitarians believe that the principle of utility should be applied to the humans only, excluding the animals. True False

Answer 1

Answer:

False

Explanation:

It is FALSE that Jeremy Bentham and the rest of the utilitarians believe that the principle of utility should be applied to humans only, excluding the animals.

This is evident when Jeremy Bentham and other utilitarians argued that Principal of Utility is based on the belief that the action of individuals is good in as much it leads to the happiness of the individual involved.

And the application of the principle of utility to animals (other than human) is sufficient only if during the exploitation of animals, the animals experience happiness more than pain.
