Utilitarian Ethics

Philosophers of the ethics subcategory who belong to utilitarian and consequentialist ethics, which judge actions by their results for the wellbeing of those affected. This group gathers the thinkers of the atlas whose own cited articles place them in that tradition, so that the subcategory can be browsed by school of thought rather than by date. Membership comes from each philosopher's cited article, through its infobox, page categories or opening sentences.
