Description
This essay presents a case against being a pure consequentialist. Being a pure consequentialist is implausible because it is either an inconsistent position, or it implies an implausibly dogmatic stance toward pure consequentialism itself. Moreover, the case against being a pure consequentialist finds added support from consequentialist considerations, suggesting that we can also create better outcomes by not being pure consequentialists.
