  Classical Utilitarianism takes the good to be the expected value of the sum of utilities over time and across the generations (Sidgwick, 1907). Ramsey’s formulation was built on that moral reasoning. He even used the term “enjoyment” to interpret utility. The article embodies the sort of ethical deliberation Sen and Williams (1982) called “Government House Utilitarianism.” But Ramsey’s article thrives today because Government House needs ethical guidance that isn’t a prop for paid Officials to act in nepotistic, never mind predatory ways, but are instead impartial over people’s needs and sensitivities. Although Ramsey used the Utilitarian language, a generous reading of his paper says that much would be gained if, instead of “enjoyment,” we were to work with the broader notion of “well-being.” Such a move allows one to pay greater attention to the factors, be they material or otherwise, that make for flourishing lives.
