| Sep 12 at 16:13 | comment | added | sket | Guilt as an emotional response is subjective to the moral actors and recipients of the action, so I doubt he'd have intended for it to be measured quantitively. Perhaps this is why a form of non-hedonistic utilitarianism might be superior to Bentham's theory. | |

'Act utilitarianism' removed as the question is not specifically about that but about Bentham.

'sense of guilt' replaces 'guilt'

| Jun 3, 2015 at 22:27 | comment | added | Cicero | I never thought of including guilt as a pain. Perhaps this could change certain utilitarian calculations. | |
| Jun 3, 2015 at 22:27 | comment | added | Cicero | The point you have made is a good point. However, consider that guilt is not the only source of pain. If doing something that makes you feel guilty causes the least amount of pain and the most pleasure compared to other methods, Bentham would consider this method the moral one. | |
