AHSS*1100 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Consequentialism
Document Summary
Plan to commit act of terroror when. If there was no murder, prob no batman to be a hero but then again that"s like conceptual suicide. + we can"t credit the murderer of the wayne"s bc that would be like crediting hitler for synthetic rubber in ww2. I should act in a way i think will maximize good bc that"s how i know what the right act is. I can act to maximize good even if i don"t know what the actual good is bc expected good is all i got. Act to the best of my knowledge to maximize good and that"s the best i can do. Outlook reduces focus on egoism in order to move past it + put focus on improving own life + others. Not cry over split milk so focus on future, not the past. Focus on outcome of our actions or policies. End justifies the means as long as means are good enough.
