Resumo: The objective of this work is to discuss happiness as an individual desire based on the connections between Mill's utilitarian ethics (2005) and Rorty's solidarity ethics (2007; 2010). To this end, we start from the theoretical observation that both philosophical currents aim to reduce pain and increase the pleasure of individuals in order to achieve maximum general happiness. However, there are differences between the two ethical-philosophical proposals that focus on the way in which we should develop our ethical codes so that we can achieve a balance between individual and collective desires, the normative-prescriptive utilitarian and the neopragmatist based on collective agreements made through the conversation and aimed at preventing cruelty, as well as encouraging acts of solidarity. To support this discussion, we will work with the following theoretical contribution: Frey (2013) Mill (2005); Rorty (2007; 2010), Mulgan (2012).

Para tal, partimos da observação teórica de que ambas as correntes filosóficas se propõem a diminuir a dor e aumentar o prazer dos indivíduos com o fito de que se alcance a máxima felicidade geral. Porém, existem diferenciações entre as duas propostas ético-filosóficas que se concentram na maneira em como devemos desenvolver nossos códigos éticos para que consigamos um equilíbrio entre desejos individuais e coletivos, sendo a utilitarista normativo-prescritiva e a neopragmatista baseada em acordos coletivos feitos através da conversação e que visam evitar a crueldade, bem como incentivar os atos de solidariedade. Para dar base a esta discussão trabalharemos com o seguinte aporte teórico: Frey (2013) Mill (2005); Rorty (2007; 2010), Mulgan (2012).UCP2022-11-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ucp.br/seer/index.php/synesis/article/view/2252Synesis (ISSN 1984-6754); Vol. 14 No. 1 (2022): JAN.-JUL.; 265-279Synesis (ISSN 1984-6754); v. 14 n. 1 (2022): JAN.-JUL.; 265-2791984-67541678-6785reponame:Synesis (Online)instname:Universidade Católica de Petrópolis (UCP)instacron:UCPporhttps://seer.ucp.br/seer/index.php/synesis/article/view/2252/3355Copyright (c) 2022 Synesis (ISSN 1984-6754)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessChaves de Sousa , Francisco Raimundo Silva, Heraldo2023-03-03T11:33:15Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/2252Revistahttps://seer.ucp.br/seer/index.php/synesisPRIhttps://seer.ucp.br/seer/index.php/synesis/oaisergio.salles@ucp.br || paulo.cerqueira@ucp.br1984-67541678-6785opendoar:2023-03-03T11:33:15Synesis (Online) - Universidade Católica de Petrópolis (UCP)false
