👉 Nonconsequentialness is a philosophical concept that refers to an action or act that has no direct, beneficial effect on another person's well-being. It implies that one's actions do not contribute to the overall happiness or good of others. In other words, if someone did something that caused harm or distress to another person, it would be considered nonconsequential and therefore unethical. Conversely, an action that does not cause any harm or distress to another person would be seen as beneficial and thus ethical.
