Accordance with Duty<\/strong> – Acting according to one’s social duty or from obligations imposed by others.<\/p>\n

Actual Duty<\/strong> – For Ross, the duty we must choose from among several that best applies to the specific circumstance at hand.<\/p>\n

Categorical Imperative<\/strong> – Those imperatives which are not optional but morally binding, absolute and universal.<\/p>\n

Contradiction of Conception<\/strong> – Part of the First Formulation’s test for universalizability, assessing whether the resulting universalized rule contradict the need for the rule itself.<\/p>\n

Deontological Ethics<\/strong> – Any theory of ethics which does not consider the consequences of an action as relevant.<\/p>\n

Duty<\/strong> – A binding moral obligation.<\/p>\n

First Formulation<\/strong> – The Categorical Imperative test of universalizability, rationally willing that a maxim become a universal law.<\/p>\n

Good Will<\/strong> – The willingness to do the right thing, the only motive for moral decision making that is good without qualification.<\/p>\n

Hypothetical Imperative<\/strong> – Any imperative that is conditional, optional, and not universally binding.<\/p>\n

Imperfect Duties<\/strong> – Moral duties which allow more flexibility in how they are followed.<\/p>\n

Maxim<\/strong> – A subjective, personal rule of behavior.<\/p>\n

Perfect Duties<\/strong> – Moral duties which are universal and binding.<\/p>\n

Prima Facie Duties<\/strong> – For Ross, the notion that in many moral dilemmas we are confronted with many duties which \u201con the face of things\u201d seem equally binding, setting up a conflict of duties.<\/p>\n

Sake of Duty<\/strong> – Acting from the inner, moral imperative without consideration of external rewards or obligations.<\/p>\n

Second Formulation<\/strong> – The Categorical Imperative test seeing persons as ends, rejecting any action that uses rational beings as instrumental towards some other good, rational beings are the highest intrinsic good.<\/p>\n

Universal Law<\/strong> – A morally binding rule for all rational persons.<\/p>\n

Universalizability<\/strong> – Shorthand for Kant’s First Formulation of the Categorical Imperative. Can we rationally will that a maxim become a universal law?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":101,"menu_order":9,"template":"","meta":{"pb_show_title":"on","pb_short_title":"","pb_subtitle":"","pb_authors":[],"pb_section_license":""},"chapter-type":[],"contributor":[],"license":[],"class_list":["post-712","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"part":932,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.ccconline.org\/ppscphi1012ethics\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/712","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.ccconline.org\/ppscphi1012ethics\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.ccconline.org\/ppscphi1012ethics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.ccconline.org\/ppscphi1012ethics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/101"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.ccconline.org\/ppscphi1012ethics\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/712\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":983,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.ccconline.org\/ppscphi1012ethics\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/712\/revisions\/983"}],"part":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.ccconline.org\/ppscphi1012ethics\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/parts\/932"}],"metadata":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.ccconline.org\/ppscphi1012ethics\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapters\/712\/metadata\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.ccconline.org\/ppscphi1012ethics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=712"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"chapter-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.ccconline.org\/ppscphi1012ethics\/wp-json\/pressbooks\/v2\/chapter-type?post=712"},{"taxonomy":"contributor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.ccconline.org\/ppscphi1012ethics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/contributor?post=712"},{"taxonomy":"license","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbooks.ccconline.org\/ppscphi1012ethics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/license?post=712"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
