Ethical Theorists

Ethical theorists are philosophers who study how to determine what is right and wrong. They develop frameworks or principles to guide moral decision-making, such as considering the greatest good for the most people (Consequentialism), respecting individual rights (Deontology), or fostering virtues like honesty and kindness (Virtue Ethics). Their work helps us understand moral questions and develop consistent ways to evaluate actions, guiding personal behavior and societal laws. Essentially, they provide thoughtful approaches to navigate complex moral choices in everyday life.
