Abstract
Consequentialism is seen by Philip Pettit mainly as a theory of the appropr iate; in his conception of virtual consequentialism he is much less concern ed with the theory of Good. Nevertheless, he pays attention to values such as rights, freedom, loyalty, confidence, dignity and love, although his ana lyses are isolated, and the connections with other values are not taken int o account. He focuses especially on the values of freedom and rights. Contr ary to Pettit, Amaryta Sen is much more concerned with the latter, although there is no complex value framework to be find in his evaluator relative t heory. He sees these values as the basis of the value system of any morals.
