At the end of the book there is also a useful appendix on Logical Symbols as well as the appendices A Chronological Table of Philosophy and Maps of Philosophy. | 950 voluntarism ethical voluntarism ethical. Voluntarism can be characterized as any philosophical view in which prominence is given to the will over against one s other mental faculties. Ethical voluntarism is the view that whether an act qualifies as right or wrong depends primarily upon how the act is willed and that the consequences of one s act are judged good or bad primarily in accord with the goodness or badness of the will which produces the act. In general Kantian ethics is quite hospitable to ethical voluntarism. Ethical voluntarists are inclined to doubt that there is such a thing as moral luck since fortuitous circumstances are unrelated to whether one s will is good and hence to whether one can be judged as having done right or wrong. .
