Abstract

This paper, which is to be published as a chapter in the Handbook of Social Choice and Welfare, provides a survey of Utilitarianism as a theory of justice. We review and discuss axiomatizations of Utilitarian and Generalized-Utilitarian social-evaluation functionals in a welfarist framework. In addition, we analyze extensions of Utilitarian principles to variable-population environments and to situations in which the alternatives resulting from choices among feasible actions are not known with certainty.
