ETHICS
RELIGION
The relationship between
religion and ethics is about the
revelation-reason relationship.
Religion is based in part on the
belief that God or another deity
reveals insights into life and its
true meaning. These insights are
compiled in texts such as the
Bible, the Torah, the Koran, and
so on.
OTHER TYPES OF CONSEQUENTIALISM ARE:
ETHICAL EGOISM
DEONTOLOGY
According to deontological
ethics, some acts are morally
obligatory regardless of their
consequences for human
welfare. Such expressions as
“duty for the sake of duty,”
“virtue is its own reward,” and
“Let justice be done even if the
heavens fall” are descriptive of
such ethics.

MORALITY CONSEQUENTIALISM
Morality is defined as the
possession of and adherence to
a moral code, or principles of
right and wrong. Murder,
adultery, lying, and stealing are
all morally wrong. Ethics
investigates the concept of
morality and its role in society,
as well as moral questions.
ETHICAL ALTRUISM
UTILITARIANISM
Utilitarianism is an ethical
theory that focuses on
outcomes to determine what is
right and wrong. It’s a variant of
consequentialism. According to
utilitarianism, the most ethical
choice is the one that results in
the greatest good for the
greatest number of people.
RULE UTILITARIANISM
Section: 1BSHM2G
Consequentialism is an ethical
theory that determines whether
something is right or wrong
based on its consequences.
Most people, for example,
would agree that lying is wrong.
However, if telling a lie saves
someone’s life,
consequentialism says it’s the
right thing to do.
STATE CONSEQUENTIALISM
DIVINE LAW
According to Thomas Aquinas’
Treatise on Law, divine law can
only be obtained through
revelation or scripture, thus
biblical law, and is required for
human salvation. Divine law,
according to Aquinas, should
not be confused with natural
law. Divine law is primarily
natural law, though it can also
be positive law.
