Hello. I have come here with a question regarding consequentialist theory. If I were to base an ethical situation on the possibilities themselves and not the ethical connotations they carry, would that be considered consequentialist or non-consequentialist? Here's an example:
A friend bought a hat that didn't really suit him. You decided not to tell him not because you didn't want to hurt his feelings, but because you didn't want to go against the flow of nature.
I ask this question because I am trying to find out how to formulate my values through Kant's categorical imperative.
