[Grammar] Capitals: utilitarian or Utilitarian?

[Ulysses]

When I use the word 'utilitarian', when should I capitalize it?

 

[Barb_D]

Not unless it's a the beginning of a sentence. Why would you?

Could you mean "Utopian?"

 

[Ulysses]

I'm not sure if capitalization means the idea of Utilitarian or a group of people of adhere to utilitarianism.

I think Communists and communist might be the same thing but I'm not sure?

It's in lower case in most dictionaries, and it's likely that a true utilitarian would question the value of using title case. ;-)

Ok I thought names (This is a name of a school of thought) would be capitalized.
