Bentham's theory of Act Utilitarianism is a teleological argument, the word teleological derives from the Greek word 'telos' which meaning 'end'. It is also, therefore, a consequentialist theory which means that a good action is one that results in the best consequences. Act Utilitarianism uses Bentham's Hedonic Calculus as well as the 'greatest good for the greatest number'. It is focused on maximising pleasure and minimising pain.
