Felicific Calculus or Good will

In Unitarianism, John Mill states that there the good of thing is what causes the most amount of happiness. The felicific calculus is what Mill use to understand Unitarianism in scenes. Felicific calculus states at that the greatest amount of happiness for the greatest amount of people. It is interesting to think that the act in depends on the cause that would give the most happiness to a lot of people. In the Kant vision, he states that the act depends on what ought to be done even though it could cause a lot of unhappy to many people. The good will has a lot of parts to it, but in summary what ought to happen equals what did happen that determine if the act is good. Mill and Kent ideals are dealing with if one’s act is good. Mill would say it would depend if that a person’s action cause the most amount of happiness of the people in the situation that they were in with. Kent would oppose Mill statement and would state that the action would need to be what should have happen then the action can be said to be good. In a situation where there may be people in need, which method would be the right one to use? In the example of the homeless and the donuts, with Kent’s method the thing that ought to happen is to give the donuts to the homeless people. In the example the homeless die because of them being diabetic. In the case of Mill, he would possible start with asking them if they were capable of eating sweets, but if they do not know Mill would most likely give the donuts to them because even though they might be diabetic the homeless people would be happy to receive food. It would seem cruel to not them food and the homeless would be sad because of it. In some case they may act the same way even though they may be different methods of responding to a situation.
