The key takeaways are that deontology focuses on duties and obligations rather than consequences of actions. It emphasizes doing the right thing even without expecting rewards.

The core principles of deontology are the duty to do the right thing regardless of consequences, following rules and laws, rationality, and emphasizing the inherent value of all humans.

Autonomy refers to self-governance and self-legislation, while heteronomy means being governed by external forces outside of one's control.

Deontology
Imagine yourself a dean’s lister on a
university. One day, you suddenly
saw a bag full of money in a
street…
What will you do?

Return it to the owner or not?


Deontology
Next, if you do not return it to
the rightful owner, you will be able
to pay your tuition fees and can
get an examination where it is your
last chance to be a dean’s lister…

Would you still stick to your


decision?
Deontology
What if the scenario is this…
If you do not return the bag full of
money, you will be able to get a
board examination for being a
Certified Public Accountant. The
license you are dreaming for…

Are you sure with your choice?


Deontology

Did you do the right thing?

or

Did you do the good thing where


you are the only one getting a
benefit on it?
Deontology
We all know how tempting it is to get
the money…

But we should remember that we must


always do the right thing!

Even though you are not expecting to


receive any when you do it…
Let us elaborate more…

• Deontogical ethics says that being good
consists in following the right rules/meeting
all your obligations.
E.g: if killing is wrong it is always wrong
even if killing someone will save 1 million lives.

• Deontological ethics holds that everyone has


certain duties is a moral requirement. One
way to think of these duties is as following
from others rights.
Duty and Agency
Like for example, If everyone of us have the
rights to life, then everyone of us have the
duty to respect others life and we refrain to
do such things that can harm them and violate
their rights.
Duty and Agency

such as:
*It is wrong to kill innocent people
*It is wrong to tell lies
*It is wrong to steal
*It is right to keep promises.
