Açıklama
A system of moral rules that is designed to maximize overall utility and that governs general patterns of conduct rather than evaluating each individual action in isolation. Mill argues that not all moral principles can be demonstrated one by one, and that the principle of utility itself derives its justification not from direct logical proof but from human desires and experience. Within this framework, identifying and adhering to general moral rules that tend to promote the greatest overall benefit is considered more reliable than calculating utility separately for every individual action. This system of rules incorporates principles such as liberty and justice and serves as a guide for the design of legal and political institutions.
