 Assuming hedonistic act-utilitarianism once again, according to maximalism, the deontic status of the maximal options depends on the outcome of performing each option. According to maximalism, then, ⟨drinking a Coke⟩ would be obligatory and every other maximal option would be impermissible. So, with respect to maximal options, maximalism and omnism generate the same deontic verdicts. But now consider what maximalists say about non-maximal options. This is the point of contention between maximalists and omnists. By contrast with the omnist’s ascription of wrongness to ⟨drinking a soda⟩, the maximalist holds that ⟨drinking a soda⟩ is obligatory. This is because the obligatory maximal option is ⟨drink a Coke⟩ and S cannot perform the maximal option of ⟨drinking a Coke⟩ without performing the non-maximal option of ⟨drinking a soda⟩. The non-maximal act ⟨drink nothing⟩, on the other hand, is entailed by an impermissible act, namely ⟨drink nothing while smiling⟩. So, maximalism entails that ⟨drinking nothing⟩ is impermissible.
