Consequentialism is a theory that suggests an action is good or bad depending on its outcome. An action that brings about more benefit than harm is good, while an action that causes more harm than benefit is not. The most famous version of this theory is Utilitarianism.
What do we owe one another Sandel?

What did Bentham and Kant agree on?
