22. Metaethics / C. The Good / 1. Goodness / g. Consequentialism

1851	Good applies to goals, just as truth applies to ideas in the mind [Aquinas]
	Full Idea: Good applies to all goals, just as truth applies to all forms mind takes in.
	From: Thomas Aquinas (Quaestiones Disputatae de Malo [1271], Q6.reply)
	A reaction: In danger of being tautological, if good is understood as no more than the goal of actions. It seems perfectly possibly to pursue a wicked end, and perhaps feel guilty about it.
