Use-Value and Utility

Utilitarian Utility is modeled on Economic Use-Value--an application of a theory of the value of a commodity to that of behavior.  Accordingly, Mill's insistence on Consequentialism, i. e. that the value of an action is independent of the factors in its production, e. g. the intention guiding it, corresponds to a denial of the relevance to Use-Value of Labor Value.  Now, implicit in those insistences is the independence of production and consequence.  But, while that independence is easy to conceive when producer and beneficiary are distinct people, the severence is less clear-cut when they are one and the same person.  So, Mill has no way of specifying the enjoyment of a meal that one has oneself prepared, and that includes vegetables that one has oneself grown.  Likewise, even though Hegel accords cardinal psychological status to the recognition of one's own labor, Marx has no way of distinguishing the enjoyment of a product of one's labor from that of anyone else.  The incapacity in both cases is entailed in the Atomist separation of the evaluations of production and product-use.
