基于功利主义“幸福原则”论其对当代幸福追求的启示
Discussion on the Implications for Contemporary Pursuit of Happiness Based on the Utilitarian “Principle of Happiness”

本文旨在探讨基于功利主义原则中的“最大多数人的最大幸福”概念在幸福追求过程中所面临的局限性，并探讨其与道德冲突的关系。功利主义强调以最大化整体幸福为目标来进行决策和行动，然而，功利主义以快乐或幸福作为最高价值，着眼于通过算法来最大化整体的幸福，然而该算法的应用在实践中常常遇到道德冲突的困境。本文将探讨功利主义的苦乐原理和幸福算法，分析功利主义幸福算法的局限性以及批判，并探讨幸福追求与道德冲突之间的关系，也进一步分析了幸福追求与道德困境对当代人的启示。旨在引起人们对幸福追求与道德困境之间关系的深思，并为实现个体和社会共同的幸福追求提供有益的帮助。这对于构建社会主义转型时期的中国幸福理论，启发意义重大。
This article aims to explore the limitations of the concept of “the greatest happiness of the greatest number” based on utilitarianism principle in the pursuit of happiness, and examines its relation-ship with moral conflicts. Utilitarianism emphasizes making decisions and taking actions with the goal of maximizing overall happiness. However, utilitarianism, which considers pleasure or happi-ness as the highest value, focuses on maximizing overall happiness through algorithms. However, the application of such algorithms often encounters moral conflicts in practice. This article will ex-plore the principle of pleasure and pain in utilitarianism and the algorithm of happiness, analyze the limitations and criticisms of utilitarianism’s algorithm of happiness, and examine the relation-ship between the pursuit of happiness and moral conflicts. It further analyzes the implications of the pursuit of happiness and moral dilemmas for contemporary individuals. The aim is to provoke deep reflections on the relationship between the pursuit of happiness and moral conflicts and pro-vide useful insights for achieving the collective pursuit of individual and societal happiness. This is particularly significant for constructing a theory of happiness in China during the socialist trans-formation period.
