For one thing, it does not follow Rawls, 1972 in requiring that the
good be defined independently of the right. Rather, teleology is identified
by its structure. Any maximizing theory is teleological, according to our
definition, and if any ethical theory says that we should maximize something,
this something is what the theory determines as good (cf. Broome,
1992). Moreover, the definition does not insist that acts are to be valued
by their consequences alone. Thereby it follows the recent practice (e.g.,
Williams, 1973; Broome, 1991; Sheffler, 1994) of including the act itself
in the overall outcome or state of affairs, which is to be evaluated by the
theory.
