measuring goodness

It is the demand for complete ranking that runs into trouble with the diversity of goodness….  On the other hand, if we stick to the humbler maximizing (i.e., not worse than) sort of Consequentialism, we will still be able to order many states of affairs by their goodness. (Nussbaum 2001,106)
