Consequentialism is a major theory of ethics. This book introduces a new type of consequentialist theory, according to which an act's moral rightness depends on a number of separate dimensions, such as individual wellbeing, equality and risk. This multidimensional perspective helps articulate views about ethics in a precise, theoretical framework.
