Page "Consequentialism" Paragraph 2

Some argue that consequentialist and deontological theories are not necessarily mutually exclusive.

For example, T. M.

Scanlon advances the idea that human rights, which are commonly considered a " deontological " concept, can only be justified with reference to the consequences of having those rights.

Similarly, Robert Nozick argues for a theory that is mostly consequentialist, but incorporates inviolable " side-constraints " which restrict the sort of actions agents are permitted to do.
