I understand that the ancient Greeks once had discussion on the topic, but I failed to find any reference leading me to the discussion. Could someone help me?
Or, is there any similar discussion occurred in the past?
for society to function. the ancient greeks started the debate. The two schools of thought were: (1) intention is what matters or (2) consequences are what matters. that's about all I know on the subject!
take a look at this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/ethics/introduction/consequentialism_1.shtml

@Citizen Peng,
Google "social contract", a concept proposed by Rousseau.
Also, "enlightened self interest"
These quests should give you a variety of thoughts from a number of individuals.
Stumble It!
