Utilitarianism explained Mill's treatment of the moral theory which was responsible for much of his philosophy.

Utilitarianism- a doctrine that the useful is the good and that the determining consideration of right conduct should be the usefulness of its consequences; specifically :  a theory that the aim of action should be the largest possible balance of pleasure over pain or the greatest happiness of the greatest number.
