Intention, The Road to Hell, Techne

One popular counter to "It's the thought that counts" is "The road to hell is paved with good intentions", i. e. Consequentialism.  Now, the two positions agree that an Action can be preceded by a 'Good' Intention, and followed by a 'Bad' Consequence, but disagree as to which is the important bearer of Value.  They also thus both accept the concept of Intention and Consequence as inherently unrelated, and, in particular, accept the concept of Intention as a mere object of observing Consciousness.  But, an Intention is no mere wish; it proposes, guides, and coordinates a course of Action.  Thus, a discrepancy between Intention and Consequence is a failure of Techne, or what Spinoza calls Inadequate Causality, i. e. a not knowing how to accomplish an aim.  Thus, the bearer of Value is the entire process, not either its initial or final moment.
