Utilitarianism's Weaknesses
Utilitarianism is:
Incomplete.
Q: Why should we be looking for happiness?
A: Utilitarianism doesn't know.
Mill says that we could be and should be happy. It is true that we could be, but he then jumps to "should" instead of "could" and bases his entire theory on it.
Utilitarianism includes some large plot holes that no one has been able to solve yet.
