About

Deontology is a normative ethical theory and academic concept that evaluates the morality of actions based on adherence to rules, duties, or obligations, independent of their consequences. As a research field within moral philosophy, it investigates the nature, source, and application of moral duties and rights, emphasizing the inherent rightness or wrongness of actions themselves rather than the outcomes they produce, serving as a foundational framework in ethical analysis.
