Question

Do intentios justify actions? Would you, like horace danby, do something wrong if you thought your ends justified the means? Do you think that there are situated actions in which it is excusable to act less than honestly?_

Answer 1

Explanation:

If the intention is good and the action taken to fulfill the intention is good, then it can be justified. But if the action taken is to fulfill an intention that is harmful then it cannot be justified.

So, an intention cannot and should not justify an action. There are only two ways; either good or bad, anything else is wrongdoing.

In the lesson Horace Danby is a thief, he steals, to buy books and that too once a year. A thief is a thief, intentions may be high, but the wrong means cannot be justified. So, Horace's action can never be justified.

I would never do wrong to get something right in the process harming someone by my action. It is never, excusable to act less than honestly.

One can act honestly and there is nothing called less than honesty.
