    Consequentialists take the value of outcomes to ground or explain other important


    normative properties such as the rightness of acts. Act Utilitarianism, the view that we
    should maximize well-being (or "happiness"), is perhaps the paradigmatic form of
    consequentialism.  But many alternatives have been developed, as found under the
    "Varieties of Consequentialism" sub-category.

    Mills enlighten us that there was a few circumstances among those which make up the
    present condition of human and there was speculation on the most important subjects still
    lingers. Mills then states that even though in science the particular truths precede the
    general theory, the contrary might be expected to be the case with w practical art, such as
    morals or legislation.

    This article talks about Act and Rule Utilitarianism, consequentialism, and it asked the

    This article examines potential applications of the concept of cause to some central
    ethical concepts, views, and problems. In particular, it discusses the role of causation in
    the family of views known as consequentialism, the distinction between killing and
    letting die, the doctrine of double effect, and the concept of moral responsibility.

    Consequentialism, as its name suggests, is simply the view that normative properties
    depend only on consequences. This historically important and still popular theory
    embodies the basic intuition that what is best, or right is whatever makes the world best
    in the future, because we cannot change the past, so worrying about the past is no more
    useful than crying over spilled milk.
