Oooh, this is really interesting, but I have little time at work.
I haven't thought about it for ages.
Consequentialist I think. I like virtue theory, but only because developing a good character makes one more likely to do things that have good consequences. I think doing good things is often to do with getting into the habit of behaving a certain way - it's not about deciding whether every single action will have good consequences.
