utilitarianism fails because it is impossible to measure pleasure in order to reach a moral decision

P-act utilitarianism is simple and easy to use

s- it is universal because it starts from the obvious fact that we all seek pleasure and avoid pain not like Kant whcih is too abstract

Ca-it results in a complex calculation the quality of goodness

p-can we quantify pleasure and pain

s-we experience it everyday so straight forward to measure it

Ca-far too subjective to form the basis of moral decision making, abstract emotion

does the hedonic calculus us to objectively measure pleasure and pain

s-assigning pleasure points to each action, makes ethics into an equation

Ca-too complex, better for small decisions
