Deontological Ethics
Deontological Ethics is a moral philosophy that focuses on the inherent rightness or wrongness of actions themselves, rather than the consequences of those actions. It is based on the idea that certain actions are morally obligatory regardless of the outcome, and individuals have a duty to follow these moral principles. Deontological Ethics emphasizes the importance of following rules, duties, and obligations in order to determine the morality of an action. This ethical approach is often associated with philosophers such as Immanuel Kant, who believed that moral principles are universal and apply to all rational beings.
