The philosophical theory that I agree the most to is utilitarianism.
This is one of the theories that has motivated me the most and has driven me forward in situations that are highly difficult. According to the utilitarian theory, any action that a person should be performing should be such that the utility of that action would be maximised. In other terms, it is stated that the action would be producing greatest well being in the life of the greatest number of people. These actions should be producing pleasure and should result in happiness in the lives of most of the people.
According to the utilitarian ethics, it is only the consequence of a particular action which would be deciding if the action is ethical or unethical. And if an action produces greatest good to the maximum people, it would be considered correct. According to the utilitarian ethics, every being has an equal right to be happy and to receive the benefits of a particular action, without any forms of discrimination.
