AB - This paper basically takes aim at interpreting Mill's utilitarianism as a virtue-utilitarianism, including utilitarian response to contemporary virtue ethics. Critics who consider virtue ethics as agent-centered ethics criticize utilitarianism based on the belief that an action is morally right if it benefits the majority of people cannot be agent-centered ethics. According to virtue ethics, the basic principles of utilitarianism are agency-centered ethics. But I think that Mill's utilitarianism is not so.
Mill adheres strictly to the principles of utilitarianism: the greatest happiness of the greatest number, consequentialism, teleological theory of ethics, principle of utility. But most of all, it is significant to note that virtue is very highly regarded as the most important part of happiness. Furthermore, he identifies virtue with happiness, and emphasizes the importance of agent's character. Therefore through these interpretations it is justified that Mill's utilitarianism is named virtue utilitarianism, including way understood under the style of qualitative hedonism and qualitative or rule utilitarianism.
