@ArthurI what do you think of this resolution I came up with to the consequentialist judgement paradox you came up with?

#philosophy #ethics #Consequentialism #utilitarian #utilitarianism #consequentialist #deontology #deontological

@jlou So It is like there is a certain "amount" of consequentialism/expressiveness in each theory assessed by its inclination towards self-contradiction

I think the attitude towards paradoxes in this case are also cultural, indeed it is impossible to have a 100% paradox free theory.

However, in the west we try at all cost to avoid them. But in eastern traditions such as Taoism, they try to embrace paradoxes as a fundamental component of the universe.
