Springs or Influence of &c

The principle of utility dictates so and so

In its deontological sense the Very different, from howsoever
connected with the expository sense is the deontological
sense of the appellation principle of utility.
The proposition of which it contains the essence is
to some such effect as this –

It is desirable – fit, right, proper, desirable – any one of these words may be employed – that on every occasion every
means the course taken by every mans conduct should
be that which will be in the highest degree conducive
to the welfare of the greatest number of those sensitive
beings in whose welfare it exercises any influence.

It is desirable – why? – because in so far
as in the instance of any person the affections of the
social class have place, and in proportion to the
extent of the field of sensitive existence, to which they apply themselves that is to the number of the sensitive
beings to which they have regards, this such is the
result to which to that person is actually
and constantly the object of his desire.
