Q

Why the end cannot justify the means?

A
  1. Impossibilità “antropologica” (per la stessa struttura del volere) e “psicologica”. Chi intende il fine vuole anche l’azione in vista di esso (i mezzi), lo intende attraverso questa azione.
  2. “Principio di non contraddizione” applicato all’azione. Non è possibile volere il bene del fine perché bene, in quanto bene (nell’intenzione) e scegliere il male (l’azione) per raggiungerlo, perché implica una contraddizione: significherebbe voler il bene e il male allo stesso tempo.
