Benefit and desire to make the most profit are among the most important desires and aspirations of human beings so that no effort is made to achieve this. In the meantime, different people from different cultures and different religions have tried to put it right. This essay seeks to express two different points of view from the two moral philosophers of Allameh Tabatabei as the Eastern and Islamic philosopher and John Stuart Mill as the Western philosopher. The first chapter expresses the basics and concepts of ethics philosophy as well as its types and types of ethics as well as the utilitarianism that is a subset of normative ethics that is itself one of the types of ethics philosophy. His morality has been expressed as a pleasurable view and interpretation of morality as being pleasurable has been disputed in the continuation of the later utilitarian’s, and their expression of the definition of pleasure and utility as well as the criterion of moral action are problems that can be addressed. Desire utilitarianism as well as later utilitarianism is expressed In the third chapter of Allameh’s and his emphasis on the special Qur’anic morality in the criterion of considering the act of morality Allameh believes that man is the only criterion for the true happiness of mankind, considering God and performing all the acts of the body and only for him. He condemns the formation of social life, while believing that being in social life cannot prevent a person from living a life in which all deeds and intentions are for God.
