Abstract:
As the moral principle that is to be obeyed in any circumstances by any individual,the ultimate principle of morality is defined as the quantization of the ultimate moral motives,and that is,the increase and decrease of every individual's total benefits.In the case that the individual benefit can't be balanced and benefit conflict occurs,this principle manifests as the "net surplus of maximal benefit".While in the case that individual benefits can be compatible with each other and no conflict occurs,this principle manifests as the "Pareto Standard",that is,the increase of total benefits without jeopardizing anyone's benefit.
