Moral theory explains why action is right or wrong and why a person or person's
character is good or bad


Utilitarianism right actions are those that result in the most beneficial balance of good
over bad; greatest good for greatest number - focuses on outcomes


Kantian ethics right actions follow rational, universal rules derived from the categorical
imperative; follow solely out of sense of duty


Principlism use prima facie moral principles which can sometimes override one
another


Natural law theory right actions are those that conform to moral standards discerned through
nature using reason

results - utilitarianism and ethical egoism
