 Moreover, even if a theory such as Railton’s sophisticated consequentialism can allow a sophisticated consequentialist agent to sometimes knowingly bring about less than maximally good consequences, such a theory must nonetheless insist that each particular act of doing so is indeed morally wrong – an insistence which seems contrary to our moral intuitions (Jollimore 2001). It is not clear, then, that an appeal to the limits of human powers can succeed in converting what is a fundamentally radical moral theory into a comfortably conservative one.
