I am very much not a utilitarian (though I think consequences are very important)
Using my moral intuition, the case against utilitarianism (and consequentialism) seems very strong
I’m wondering how to square these statements re: your attitude towards consequentialism (not utilitarianism). I suppose you’re saying you think consequences are very important yet you aren’t a consequentialist in the way most people who call themselves that use/define the term?
Yes, I think consequences are very important, but I am not a consequentialist. Consequentialists claim that only consequences matter, morally speaking. I disagree. I think things like virtue, autonomy, justice, fidelity, and so on also matter, in addition to consequences.
Out of curiosity

Thanks for clarifying, seems similar to 80K’s view.
