Pluralist consequentialism

A form of consequentialism.

Pluralist consequentialists want to maximize intrinsic good, but unlike hedonistic utilitarians they do not think that pleasure or happiness is the only thing that is intrinsically good. There are other ideals or intrinsic values, they say, like knowledge, truth, beauty, justice, equality, and freedom. Unlike preference utilitarians, pluralist consequentialists hold that such things have intrinsic value irrespective of our preferences.1
