Answer:

This statment is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mill argumented that utilitarism, differs from a theory of mearly pleasure, because humans can make a distiction among different notions of pleasure. For instance, by one hand ,he talked about the placers brought by intelectual or moral aspects of life. In the the other hand he refered to placers brough by physical experimentations, that had to do with the body for example.

His argument sustained that a person can make this distinction, and also put into priority one from the other. This would mean that utilitarism is not only cuantitative, but analized from a quality aspect. This position tried to add an idea of utilitarim, but considering a process of qualitive analysis from the person who choses one or other decision that would benefit them.
