Econometrica, 1999 Summary: In a framework of preferences over lotteries, we show that an axiom system consisting of weakened versions of Arrow's axioms has a unique solution. `Relative utilitarianism' consists of first normalizing individual von Neumann-Morgenstern utilities between 0 and 1 and then summing them.

Utilitarian alternatives to Act Utilitarianism
Pacific Philosophical Quarterly, 1997One problem for any utilitarian alternative to act utilitarianism, such as rule utilitarianism, is the feeling that act utilitarianism is the most natural form of utilitarianism.

Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems, 2002
Autonomous agents reason frequently about preferences such as desires and goals. In this paper we propose a logic of desires with a utilitarian semantics, in which we study nonmonotonic reasoning about desires and preferences based on the idea that desires can be understood in terms of utility losses (penalties for violations) and utility gains ...

The Review of Economic Studies, 1978
In a recent paper [1], d'Aspremont and Gevers establish that if a social welfare functional (SWFL) satisfies several reasonable properties, and if interpersonal comparisons of absolute welfare levels are prohibited, although unit interpersonal comparisons of welfare are not (for a discussion of unit and level welfare comparisons, see Sen [9]), the SWFL

Harsanyi’s ‘Utilitarian Theorem’ and Utilitarianism
Noûs, 20021.1 In 1955, John Harsanyi proved a remarkable theorem:' Suppose n agents satisfy the assumptions of von Neumann/Morgenstern (1947) expected utility theory, and so does the group as a whole (or an observer). Suppose that, if each member of the group prefers option a to b, then so does the group, or the observer (Pareto condition).

Utilitas, 2000
Sidgwick's first explicit statement of the utilitarian position, in an essay presented to the Metaphysical Society in 1873, provides a lucid overview of the errors to be avoided and the terms to be clarified in any adequate account of the subject. As a précis of the comprehensive treatment of utilitarianism that would soon appear in The Methods of ...
