Moore holds that right actions are those producing the most good. The difficulty with this is that the consequences of most actions are too vast for us to properly take into account, especially the long-term consequences. Because of this, Moore suggests that the definition of duty is limited to what generally produces better results than probable alternatives in a comparatively near future. Whether a given rule of action turns out to be a "duty" depends to some extent on the conditions of the corresponding society but "duties" agree mostly with what common-sense recommends. Virtues, like honesty, can in turn be defined as "permanent dispositions" to perform duties.
