Medlet tränger undan målet - Hannah Arendt

Med instrumentellt handlande där ett medel ska uppnå ett framtida mål blir risken stor att medlet tränger undan målet.

”the means-end category, whose chief characteristic, if applied to human affairs, has always been that the end is in danger of being overwhelmed by the means which it justifies and which are needed to reach it Since the end of human action, as distinct from the end products of fabrication, can never be reliably predicted, the means used to achieve political goals are more often than not of greater relevance to the future world than the intended goals.”1
