Alastair Norcross. Morality By Degrees: Reasons Without Demands (2020)

‘At a fundamental level, consequentialist ethical theories just make judgements about the degree to which states of the world and actions are better than alternatives. Yet on to consequentialism we graft deontological concepts such as ‘right’ and end up with weird views such as that it is wrong to give less than everything to charity. Consequentialism should be seen as a radical approach, to be applied and judged on its own terms.’
