Beauchamp's Principle is a concept in the field of ethics, particularly in the study of moral philosophy. It suggests that the moral value of an action is determined by its consequences, specifically focusing on the overall happiness or well-being it produces. This principle emphasizes the importance of considering the outcomes of actions when evaluating their ethical implications. The principle is often associated with utilitarianism, a theory that advocates for actions that maximize overall happiness. By applying Beauchamp's Principle, individuals and policymakers can make more informed decisions that aim to promote the greatest good for the greatest number of people.
