ABSTRACT
A teleological approach to making ethical judgments is one that adopts a criterion of consequence or result as the standard of what is morally right and wrong. This philosophy of ends is quite uncomplicated at first blush. The ultimate reference is to the comparative amount of benefit produced or expected to be produced-the goodness or badness of the consequences of the decision (as this may be determined by the actor) drives the choice. The end, consequence, or result is itself a nonmoral good.
