Theories of well-beingâand hence of âhappinessâ in the well-being senseâcome in three basic flavors, according to the best-known taxonomy (Parfit 1984): hedonism, desire theories, and objective list theories.
Conjoining hedonismâas a view as to what is good for peopleâto utilitarianism has the result that all action should be directed toward achieving the greatest total amount of happiness (see Hedonic calculus). Though consistent in their pursuit of happiness, Bentham and Mill's versions of hedonism differ.
