Ivan’s challenge has become a famous objection to utilitarianism. Setting out the structure of Dostoevsky’s objection more formally may help to clarify what is at issue:
Premise 1. If utilitarianism were true, it would tell us, correctly, which acts are right and which are wrong.
Premise 2. Utilitarianism tells us that if torturing an innocent child to death would bring about better consequences than anything else we could do, then torturing an innocent child to death would be the right thing to do.
Premise 3. Torturing an innocent child to death is always wrong.
