§.1. Principle of Utility what—its relation to pleasure and pain

By the appellation of the principle /doctrine/ of general

utility—say commonly for shortness the principle of utility is designated that

principle /doctrine/ [which points out as not only the actual but the proper and only

proper end in view in and of human action of action] by which endeavours are used to

engage men on all occasions /every occasion/ to pursue that course of action by /of/

which in so far as happiness is affected /concerned/ the result will be the greatest

quantity of happiness say or well-being will be produced.

So far as the application of it extends, directly opposite therefore is the /are the

doctrine and principle of asceticism to the doctrine and principle of utility as

above /here/ explained.
