John Stuart Mill's Utilitarianism is the canonical statement of the view that morality cannot be separated from consequences. First published in 3 consecutive issues of Fraser's Magazine, the articles were later collected into the present volume.Utilitarianism is the idea that the moral worth of an action is determined solely by its usefulness in maximizing utility and minimizing negative utility (utility can be defined as pleasure, preference satisfaction, knowledge or other things) as summed among all sentient beings. It is thus a form of consequentialism, meaning that the moral worth of an action is determined by its outcome.
