I’ve really come to think of my moral framework as trying to maintain an Aristotle golden mean between Consequentialism and Deontology.
Both outcome and intent matter, and the tricky question is how to balance the two.
I don’t have a strong philosophical argument to justify the balance I aim to strike in daily life, but it definitely feels like both consequentialism and deontology fall down when left totally to their own devices.
