The issue of human act has been a perennial issue. Since man is a social animal who is by nature destined to dwell in group if not gregarious; it is very expedient, therefore to have man's actions scrutinised and guarded as to facilitate relationship with fellowmen. However, in constructing a moral system necessarily engendered the need to decide on important questions as regards the condition for right and wrong actions; which is to be counted morally and the relevance of the rules to the assessment of actions. In so doing, the tendency is possibly to divide teleological theories into egoistic and utilitarian theories depending on the account of the consequences that is taken. Hence, the researcher primarily focuses on exploring the egoism and utilitarianism as theories and then deciphering what could have informed the formation of such principles. The result finding been that every single person popularly and assiduously desires and seeks for pleasure. To achieve the purpose of the study, the researcher employed simply the methodological approach of philosophical inquiry.
