One possibility “ involves supposing that the ' morality ' of the act is one thing, probably to do with the praiseworthiness or blameworthiness of the agent, and its rightness or wrongness another .” Jonathan Dancy rejects this interpretation on the grounds that Mill is explicitly making intention relevant to an assessment of the act not to an assessment of the agent.

( In England, economists tended to conceptualize utility in keeping with the Utilitarianism of Jeremy Bentham and later of John Stuart Mill.

Walras ' conception of utility, like that of Menger, was that of usefulness in general, rather than the hedonic conception of Bentham or of Mill ; and Walras was more interested in the interaction of markets than in explaining the individual psyche.

Mill clarifies that this standard is solely based on utility.

Mill makes it clear throughout On Liberty that he " regard utility as the ultimate appeal on all ethical questions ," a standard he inherited from his father, a follower of Jeremy Bentham.

Mill seems to idealize liberty and rights at the cost of utility.

In Chapter four of his text " Utilitarianism " Mill can claim that the proof for the principle of utility is the fact that it is human nature.

Mill shows that the principle of utility is necessary and that those things that are desired are parts of happiness and not a means to happiness.

According to Mill, the mistake of other moral theories, including Aristotle's, is that all systems are based on the principle of utility, but other moralists were blind to this fact.

Mill says that humans must first reason about what is moral, then try to bring the feelings of our conscience in line with our reason.

At the same time, Mill says that a good moral system ( in his case, utilitarianism ) ultimately appeals to aspects of human nature — which, must themselves be nurtured during upbringing.

But this is quite compatible with a full appreciation of the intrinsic superiority of the higher .” Mill says that this appeal to those who have experienced the relevant pleasures is no different to what must happen when assessing the quantity of pleasure for there is no other way of measuring “ the acutest of two pains, or the intensest of two pleasurable sensations .”

Paley had justified the use of rules and Mill says,

Mill says, “ as between his own happiness and that of others, utilitarianism requires him to be as strictly impartial as a disinterested and benevolent spectator .” Critics say that this combination of requirements leads to utilitarianism making unreasonable demands.

He adds that “ from every kind of motive, may proceed actions that are good, others that are bad, and others that are indifferent .” Mill makes a similar point and explicitly says that “ motive has nothing to do with the morality of the action, though much with the worth of the agent.

In a footnote printed in the second edition of Utilitarianism, Mill says, “ the morality of the action depends entirely upon the intention — that is, upon what the agent wills to do .” Elsewhere, he says, “ Intention, and motive, are two very different things.

An interpretation given by Roger Crisp draws on a definition given by Mill in A System of Logic where he says an “ intention to produce the effect, is one thing ; the effect produced in consequence of the intention, is another thing ; the two together constitute the action .” Accordingly, whilst two actions may outwardly appear to be the same they will be different actions if there is a different intention.
