Going further into consequentialism
Yesterday in class we talked about some different aspects of consequentialism. I found this link that discusses consequentialism in terms of ethics and decision-making.
This is great! Mixed consequensialism makes sense to me. It gives a degree of balance. I have a hard time thinking only in terms of black and white, maybe it is the artist in me. Call it the color wheel theory! If every situation was exactly the same every time, black and white might work, however there are so many circumstances one must consider in an event to make an informed decision.
