WHAT DOES DEMANDINGNESS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Demandingness objection

The demandingness objection is a common argument raised against utilitarianism and other consequentialist ethical theories. The consequentialist requirement that we maximize the good impartially seems to this objection to require us to perform acts that we would normally consider optional. For example, if our resources maximize utility more efficiently when we donate them to charity rather than spending them on ourselves, we are, according to utilitarianism, morally required to do so. The objection holds that this clashes with our intuitions about morality, since we would normally consider such acts to be "supererogatory". It is argued that because consequentialism appears to demand more than common-sense morality, it ought to be revised or rejected.
