Poli 231: actions have unintended and unforeseeable results the uncertainty about whether the means is the right one to take the uncertainty about whether the set of morality we have is actually correct. [recall how jessica tells hugo that he would have a different set of morals if he met hoederer first; recall.

Right action: do something without losing something else of importance/significance.
