Utilitarianism evaluates actions based on their consequences, aiming to maximize overall happiness and reduce suffering. In the case of Arizona's death penalty, proponents might argue that it serves as a deterrent to crime, potentially leading to a decrease in violent offenses and thus greater societal safety and happiness. Conversely, states that abolish the death penalty may prioritize rehabilitation and the moral implications of capital punishment, believing that these approaches better enhance overall well-being. Thus, the differing stances reflect varying utilitarian calculations of what best promotes the greatest good for the greatest number.
Rule utilitarianism states that an action is right as it conforms to a rule that leads to the greatest good. The rightness or wrongness of a particular action is a function of the correctness of the rule of which it is an instance.
