Whether it is framed as the goal of providing the greatest happiness for the greatest number
のitは何を指しているのか教えて下さい。

The thinkers of the Age of Reason and the Enlightenment saw an urgent need for a secular
foundation for morality,
because they were haunted by a historical memory of centuries of religious carnage:
the Crusades, the Inquisition, witch hunts, the European wars of religion.
They laid that foundation in what we now call humanism, which privileges the well-being of individual men,
women, and children over the glory of the tribe, race, nation, or religion.
It is individuals, not groups, who are sentient--who feel pleasure and pain, fulfillment and anguish.
Whether it is framed as the goal of providing the greatest happiness for the greatest number or as
a categorical imperative to treat people as ends rather than means, it was the universal capacity of
a person to suffer and flourish, they said, that called on our moral concern.
