Hey lit figured this was the best place to ask, I've been googling to no avail, I'm looking for the name of the ethical theory most concerned with the motives or intents behind actions.
The closest I've found is motive utilitarianism but it isn't quite what I'm looking for. I'm embarrassed myself I havnt been able to remember what I'm referring to I consider myself a fan of ethics but even with the internet what I'm precisely thinking of eludes me.
And yes this is for a final paper for university.
