My formal education wasn't solely focused on Utilitarianism, but it was a portion of it. As for recommended literature, most people would say "start with the classics" like Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill. Between you and me though, trying to decipher old writings for meaning is very difficult without guidance of a professor. You're probably better served by books that provide semi-intricate overviews of all the most prevalent theories in Utilitarianism. Something like this:

Once you've got firm grounding in the basic concepts and history surrounding those concepts, then you can dive into the specific writings of our great philosophers.

P.S. Peebee only annoyed me at certain times, but was still a preferred companion. Take that with a grain of salt though as unfortunately, I really didn't wholly like any companion given to us in Andromeda. I'm a whole-hearted fan of Tali, Wrex, and Garrus. Andromeda companions seemed to lack something I can't quite put my finger on.
