Can consequentialism cover everything?
Utilitas 15 (2):237-47 (2003)
Abstract
Derek Parfit, Philip Pettit and Michael Smith defend a version of consequentialism that covers everything. I argue that this version of consequentialism is false. Consequentialism, I argue, can only cover things that belong to a combination of things that agents can bring about.Author's Profile
