L. S. University of Edinburgh, sprigge@holyrood.ed.ac.uk The Relation between Jeremy Bentham's Psychological, and his Ethical, Hedonism [Elektronische Daten] [T. L. S. Sprigge] The relationship between Bentham's ‘enunciative principle' (that each person's sole ultimate motive is the maximization of their own happiness) and his ‘censorial principle' (that it is the effects on the happiness of all affected which determines what they ought to do) is famously problematic. The problem's solution is that each person has an overwhelming interest in living in a community in which they, like others, are liable to punishment for behaviour condemned by the censorial principle (and in some cases rewarded for behaviour which it favours) either by the institutions of the state or by the tribunal of public opinion. The senses in which Bentham did and did not think everyone selfish are examined, and a less problematic form of psychological hedonism than Bentham's is proposed.
