• Scalar consequentialism the right way Sinhababu, Neil 2018 Philosophical Studies: An International Journal for Philosophy in the Analytic Tradition , Vol. 175 , Issue 12 , S. 3131 ff. ( Zeitschrift ) Englisch 0031-8116 | 1573-0883 Abstract

    Rightness and wrongness come in degrees that vary on a continuous scale. Examples in which agents have many options that morally differ from each other demonstrate this. I suggest ways to develop scalar consequentialism, which treats the rightness and wrongness of actions as matters of degree, and explains them in terms of the value of the actions' consequences. Scalar consequentialism has a variety of linguistic resources for understanding unsuffixed "right." It also has advantages over some deontological theories in accounting for rightness.
