Consequentialism and Actual Rules 0. Introduction
نویسنده
چکیده
After considering some problems facing exiting versions of consequentialism, I present the schematic outline of an alternative version of consequentialism, which I call Actual Rule Consequentialism (ARC). I then consider three ways in which one might attempt to ground ARC by deriving it from some more fundamental principle. The first attempt is to derive ARC from a principle of fairness, the second is to derive ARC from a principle of agential involvement, and the third is to derive ARC from a transmission principle connecting the reasons of groups to the reasons of group-members.

A Particular Consequentialism:
Moral particularism is commonly presented as an alternative to ‘principleor rule-based’ approaches to ethics, such as consequentialism or Kantianism. This paper argues that particularists’ aversions to consequentialism stem not from a structural feature of consequentialism per se, but from substantial and structural axiological views traditionally associated with consequentialism. Given a parti...
