Tim Mulgan presents a penetrating examination of consequentialism: the theory that human behavior must be judged in terms of the goodness or badness of its consequences.

In response, Mulgan offers his own, more practical version of consequentialism–one that will surely appeal to philosophers and laypersons alike.
