"Shall I?": there are only two possible answers, and these are contradictory. In the case of "Should I": there three possible answers: (A) the duty to do ... (B) the right to do... pro, but also contra, (C) the obligation, not ... - I 279 Contradiction/action/moral/ethics/Strawson/Geach: in interesting cases, R is not inconsistent with P and Q itself, but because the contradiction follows from P and Q together. From P and Q and R together follows S and its contradiction ~S, therefore it does not matter if we explain consequence in terms of inconsistency, or vice versa inconsistency in terms of consequence. GeachVsWilliams: even if a contradictory order follows from an earlier given, one will not say that the command recipient had received the order to draw a wrong conclusion. Williams: if no action follows, no practical conclusion was concluded. GeachVsWilliams: vice versa, if the conclusion can be derived, the conclusion exists. >Contradiction, >Conclusion, >Consequence, cf. >Deontology, >Consequentialism.}, note = { Gea I P.T.
