Which of the following are types of Deontological theories ?

  • A.Moral and non-moral
  • B.Philosophical and non-philosophical
  • C.Act-deontological and rule-deontological
  • D.Traditional and modern

Answer: C

The types are act-deontological and rule-deontological theories.

Frankena's classification divides deontological theories by how duty is known. Act-deontology says we see what is right in each particular situation; rule-deontology says rightness is fixed by rules, such as Kant's categorical imperative or Ross's prima facie duties.

Moral and non-moral is a distinction among values or judgements, and the other two pairs are not recognised classifications of deontological ethics.
