Question

Which type of truth standard holds that a belief, feeling, or behavior is acceptable if it promotes the greatest good for humanity as a whole rather than for the individual?

Answer 1

Utilitarianism is a philosophical standard by which utility for the greater good is promoted. This means that while the individual's status is degraded, it is acceptable so long as the net benefit or utility gained from the action is sufficiently beneficial for the rest of society/greater good.
