Consequentialism and moral psychology
International Journal of Philosophical Studies 2 (1):1 – 17 (1994)
| Abstract | Consequentialism ought not to make an impact, explicit or implicit, on every decision. All it ought generally to enjoy is what I describe as a virtual presence in the deliberation that produces decisions. [...] The argument that we have conducted suggests that the virtuous agent ought in general to remain faithful to his or her instincts and ingrained habits, only occasionally breaking with them in the name of promoting the best consequences. | |||||||||
