Question

Which of these systems do you find most reasonable and why?

Two types of consequentialist moral reasoning: utilitarianism and moral egoism.

Two types of non-consequentialist moral reasoning: virtue ethics and deontology.

Answer 1

#. According to me , utilitarianism is most reasonable because it states that we must ask ourselves what the consequences will be for all those who may be affected by a particular act in a particular situation. If its consequences bring more total good than those of any alternative course of action, then this action is the right one and the one we should perform. While Moral egoism is the view that it is morally acceptable ( or even morally required) for individuals to pursue their economic interest when engaged in business. This view is defended on utilitarian grounds.

#. According to me Deontology is most reasonable .

Deontological (non-consequentialists) theories

Theories that contend that right and wrong are determined by more than just likely consequences of action. Non-consequentialists do not necessarily deny that consequences are morally significant, but they believe that other factors are also relevant to the moral assessment of an action. While virtue theory is a broad term for theories that emphasis the role of character and virtue in moral philosophy rather than either doing one's duty or acting in order to bring about good consequences.
