The First Consecutiveist Ethics
The subtitle of your book was the first consequentialist. Can you explain what that means? Right.

And when we talk about right and wrong, are we talking about actions? Are we talking about policies? There's various sorts of things that we might evaluate as right or wrong to flesh out the particular brand of consequentialism we're dealing with here.
