Ética deontológica e consequencialista

alguns contrastes

Abstract

What is more relevant in an action: principles or consequences? This article seeks to contrast deontological ethics with consequentialist ethics, which offer different answers to this question: deontological ethics emphasizes principles; teleological ethics, consequences. Following this, elective affinities between deontological ethics and law, on the one hand, and consequentialist ethics and economics, on the other, are examined, also encompassing possible dialogues between them, addressing cost-benefit reasoning, the relationship of the topic with distributive justice, and the limits and possibilities of consequentialism in law.
