Names by which the
principle has been
designated, in many
points inappropriate.
To the diffusion of the system on the reception & adoptn. of whh.
the maximum of happiness in the whole human species not to mention
others is so inseparably and incontrovertiably dependent, it happens, rather
unfortunately, that the several denomination, by which, at different
times, it came to be designated were was in many points so
far from being an apt one.
18.
Prin. of uty.
expressiveness of the
term
At first, the name was the principle of utility. here the fault
was that, by the expression thus employed, not the idea meant
to be conveyed but one widely different from it was in fact
at all times liable to be conveyed, and to an inconsiderable
extent actually conveyed: and of this mistaken a in discourse one bad a practice
was the causing that drawing down to a correspondent extent
the sentiment of disapprobation upon the opinion in the reception
of whh. all the good that cd. be produced by the disseminatn. of the
principle depended.
19.
The word regarded as
calling for approbatn.
of every measure
contributing to an
end whatever that
end be.
To the extent in question, the principle of utility, was, in a word
regarded, as above, (look at the anterior passage referred to) by
whh. approbation was called for by every opinion or operation by whh.
a contribution was made to this or that end, whatsoever might
be the nature of that end: the _____ of it, being regarded as
the principe by whh. approbation is called for, for such measures
also alone as are contributory to human happiness taken in the aggregate,
fixed the maximum of the happiness enjoyed by the
aggregate composed of the several members of whh. the in
question is composed.
