consequentialist decision theory and utilitarian ethics

Consequentialist decision theory examines the ethical implications of actions based solely on their outcomes, asserting that the morality of a choice is determined by its results. Utilitarian ethics, a prominent form of consequentialism, further refines this by advocating for actions that produce the greatest good for the greatest number of people, making it a cornerstone of outcome-based moral philosophy. This framework is crucial for understanding how various ethical dilemmas are approached, emphasizing the consequences of decisions in guiding moral action.
