    Deontology

    • Quality of the action itself inherently matters
    • The heart of Deontology: Doing the right thing because it's the right thing to do
    • Dignity of a rational nature: Reason is bound to truth claims, with a binding force of reason
    • Universalizability method: Testing rightness/wrongness of actions to find out one's duty
    • Moral Imperative: Actions that are inherently right or wrong, like "do not murder" or "do not lie"
    • Dignity: Having principles and holding on to rightness and wrongness of actions

    Virtue Ethics

    • Central question: How to cultivate virtues and good judgment (phronesis)
    • Mesotes: The "right thing to do", between excess and deficiency
    • Internal goods: Character competencies that are habituated, like virtues
    • Virtues: High-level skills and traits that make us more effective and successful as human beings
    • Example: Coaching a team well, with virtues like competence, leadership, trust, and communication
    • Cultivating virtues: Requires effort and practice, not just words

    Practice Questions

    • Virtue Ethics: The right action is called the mesotes, meaning "middle", between excess and deficiency
