Moral theories can be distinguished not only by the answers they
give but also by the questions they ask. Utilitarianism's central
commitment is to the promotion of well-being, impartially
considered. This commitment shapes utilitarianism in a number of
ways. If scarce resources should be directed where they will best
promote well-being, and if theoretical attention is a scarce
resource, then moral theorists should focus on topics that are most
important to the future promotion of well-being. A theme of this
Element is that, as times change, the priorities (both practical
and theoretical) of utilitarianism also change. Questions that were
once theoretical curiosities move centre stage. And themes from
earlier utilitarians that have become unfashionable may come to the
fore again. Utilitarianism is a living tradition, not an abstract
set of timeless principles or a purely historical artefact.
