Ideal Utilitarianism
Ideal Utilitarianism is a form of CONSEQUENTIALIST ETHICS that identifies the maximization of non-material goods—such as beauty, knowledge, and justice—as the fundamental criterion for determining the moral rightness of actions, thereby distinguishing it from hedonistic utilitarianism by prioritizing intrinsic values over mere pleasure.
