Ethics Based on Utility and Social Struggle

Abstract

The complete theory of history can only be obtained when the needs of people are pointed out completely as Abraham H. Maslow did. The purpose of human life is to survive, breed and meet needs of themselves, which is the final source of all values and significance. The original meaning of good is the characteristic of other people’s actions or consciousness which is favorable to the subject. Public opinion can be engendered by everyone praising good and cursing evil, and objective meaning of good can then be formed: The objective meaning of good is the characteristic of a person’s action or consciousness which is favorable to others.
