| Expressions | Definition | ||
| Deontological ethics | Deontological Ethics (from the Greek Deon, meaning obligation), or Deontology, is an ethical theory considered solely on duty and rights, where one has an unchanging moral obligation to abide by a set of defined principles. Thus, the ends of any action never justify the means in this ethical system. If someone were to do their moral duty, then it would not matter if it had negative consequences. Therefore, consequentialism is the philosophical antithesis of this theory. (references) | ||
