Deontological Theories

Deontology is the study of the nature of duty and obligations. Deontological theories see good as something that is self-evident and can be summed up in general rules which apply to all (it is wrong to kill). In this theory, the action of killing is always wrong. It breaks the basic rule of respect for life. Moral good is discovered through reasoned reflection.
