A point Hannah Arendt makes impressed me. If a question is posed in terms of ends & means, ends tautologically justify the means. One has to escape the ends/means 'problematic' rather than make the hopeless claim that ends don't justify means. If I need groceries, the end rather tautologically justifies using energy, muscle power and gasoline, to obtain those groceries.
