Some actions, like journeys, have value regardless of the outcomes they produce. Williams brings this point about to show how the utilitarian’s focus on consequences might not be the best way to assign value to actions, since it has no way of accounting for the intrinsic values actions may have. Here I have to agree with Williams. The manner in which consequentialist judge actions does not seem to allow any room for considering a person’s intent behind choosing to commit that act. Williams seems to be more open to such considerations than Smart ever was in his

Individuals are vulnerable against the principles of time, and ultimately the novela suggests that the power of the present, allows the individuals to change the meaning given to the past and
A plethora of writings, novels, and interpretations have made H.G. Wells one of the most insightful authors in literary history. He was truly gifted in expressing revolutionary ideas in exciting and enjoyable stories, one of the most notable of which is The Time Machine. In this particular novel, Wells expresses a number of his personal opinions on controversial matters, such as the evolution of man and the idea of socialism. Reaffirming Wells’ ideas on such matters, Peter Firchow elaborates on Wells’ developments declaring, “Wells is a radical innovator.
