Questions from this topic

Each one with the model answer underneath.

  1. 1

    What is the defining feature of deontological ethics?

    Model answer

    It judges actions as right or wrong based on adherence to rules or duties, regardless of consequences.

  2. 2

    On what principle is Kant's deontological ethics based?

    Model answer

    The categorical imperative, which commands actions that could be universalised as moral laws.

  3. 3

    How does teleological ethics determine whether an action is moral?

    Model answer

    It judges the morality of actions based on their outcomes or ends.

  4. 4

    What criterion does consequentialist ethics use to evaluate actions, and what does Bentham's utilitarianism specifically seek?

    Model answer

    Consequentialist ethics evaluates actions solely by their consequences; Bentham's utilitarianism seeks the greatest happiness for the greatest number.

  5. 5

    What is the central concern of virtue ethics?

    Model answer

    Developing good character traits rather than following rules or calculating consequences.

  6. 6
