- TeMPOraL 6y agoNothing. TFA just says that if you want to say that, and you use the (fully appropriate) word "consequentialism", there's a high probability it'll derail the conversation into debate about philosophy.
- BrendanCoughlan 6y agoWell ac'shually in normal philosophical use "consequentialism" means the morality of an action depending only on the consequences of that action. And that is a much more controversial (and IMNSHO wrong) proposition.
