Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Utilitarianism is a consequentialist ethical theory that argues for the greatest good for the greatest number. Therefore, choice C, "Greatest benefit for the greatest number" best represents utilitarianism. Choice A, "Greatest benefit for the individual" is more representative of ethical egoism. Choice B, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is an example of the golden rule, which is a principle found in many different ethical theories. Choice D, "Equal rights for all" is an example of a deontological ethical principle, which is not necessarily utilitarian in nature.
