Utilitarianism is a moral philosophy that suggests actions are right if they promote the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people. Developed by philosophers such as Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill, it emphasizes the consequences of actions and seeks to maximize overall well-being. Critics argue that it can justify actions that harm individuals if it results in greater overall happiness.
