Against blameless wrongdoing
Ethical Theory and Moral Practice 5 (3):287-303 (2002)
Abstract
I argue against the standard view that it is possible to describe extensionally different consequentialist theories by describing different evaluative focal points. I argue that for consequentialist purposes, the important sense of the word act must include all motives and side effects, and thus these things cannot be separated.Author's Profile
