All Philosophy is confusing and as a former philosophy major I should know. It helps if you are drunk when you try and read it...I'm just kidding. Maybe.
Half of Philosophy is learning how to read and digest what is presented. Wikipedia is fairly straight forward most of the time.
Just as a help:
Socrates: Belived in questioning and pursuing all available knowledge. Belived people would do what is right as long as they were informed. Those who chose wrong do so out of ignorance. Knowledge = Truth = Virtue = Happiness
Utilitarianism: Actions should create the greatest amount of happiness in the greatest amount of people.
