Act Utilitarianism - The Hedonic Calculus
Jeremy Bentham's hedonic calculus. Devised in order for individuals to quantify the amount of happiness that a proposed action would create by applying the situation to seven different factors, with the proposed action that creates the most happiness being the correct action to take in order to generate the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people, as outlined in Bentham's Principle of Utility which is also known as the Greatest Happiness Principle.
