John Dewey's Utilitarianism

John Dewey was more than just a man who taught and wrote about psychology. He was also a big time philosopher who played a role in many philosophies. He says that good is never the same, without good consciousness does not exist, and associates moral good with utilitarianism.
To John Dewey, good can never happen twice to anyone. The word good has many definitions and the one to be associated with it in philosophy would be the second most used one for good; which is this, that which is righteous or morally right. People try to live by what society says is morally right. They quality of good is never the same, and it starts off fresh and new for you each morning. Good is unique to in its presentation to people because people in the society see
He tries to explain that utilitarianism forces people to do good by saying, “To utilitarianism with all its defects belongs the distinction of enforcing in an unforgettable way the fact that moral good, like every good, consists in a satisfaction of the forces of human nature, in welfare, happiness” ( 211). That the fact of moral good always has to come with some sort of satisfaction. That humans have to get a happiness out of every good deed that they do just to be satisfied. With that, since there is good it also means there is a consciousness. When there is that satisfaction the conscious relieves that person of any misery, therefore giving the ecstatic feeling of happiness. Yet, Dewey almost comes to completely contradict what he believes. Making the claim that when utilitarianism is examined it comes out to be nothing but a catastrophe. Where this questioning comes from is trying to separate the conceptions of good and intelligence. The intelligence side of the conception wants to go with many others. That everything can be solved by algebraic calculus. On the other side of his situation is what he also believes that good can be powered by. That the good people do is powered by many things. One of them being the daily activity of life. That people do good because they need to have a purpose throughout daily life. He does not just stop their either. Dewey goes even more in depth on how good is factored into the daily lifestyle. He says, “depending upon the proportion, order and freedom introduced into it by thought as it discovers objects which release and unify otherwise contending elements” (212). Not only does daily activity life add into good but also freedom is added. With the freedom the and proportion it adds to release and unify the contending elements. So, that also helps with people wanting to do good in the daily
