30 Phil, Chapter 27: From Aristotle’s virtue to Mill’s greatest happiness, ethical systems have explored both sides of the “good intent-good results” approach to morality. In modern philosophy, most have decided there is no single rule to ethics. For many, a holistic approach is the key. The basic idea is to understand and avoid fear-based ethical systems while embracing the two-tong approach of good intent and good results. For example, your actions should come from a place of good intent, but you should also evaluate your motivations and measure your results to alter and guide future acts.
