Pemikiran
Utilitarianisme
William Paley merupakan seorang pendeta di gereja Inggris. Ia berpendapat bahwa kehendak Tuhan dapat dipahami dengan menggunakan paham utilitarianisme. Asas dasar yang ditetapkannya ialah manusia harus bertindak dengan cara yang terbaik dengan hasil yang mampu meningkatkan kebahagiaan. Pendapat ini didasarinya oleh pandangan bahwa Tuhan bersifat maha pemurah. Waley memiliki pemikiran yang radikal. Ia menolak diadakannya perbudakan dan memberlakukan konservatisme dalam hal kepemilikan. Ia meyakini bahwa hukum kepemilikan adalah cara terbaik untuk memperkenalkan konsep mengenai kebahagiaan.[2]
