Answer to Question 1

ANS:
Yes, someone can be both a consequentialist and a utilitarian. In fact, anyone who is a utilitarian must be a consequentialist, since utilitarianism is one version of consequentialism. (Other consequentialist theories mentioned in this chapter are egoism and altruism.) A consequentialist is anyone who believes that the rightness or wrongness of an action depends upon its consequences. A utilitarian is a consequentialist who believes that we should act so as to produce the best consequences for everyone, ourselves included.



Answer to Question 2

ANS:
Axiology is the study of values, such as value in human behavior (ethics) and value in art (aesthetics).
