The concept of good is primary for the :

  • A.Libertarian approach
  • B.Contractarian approach
  • C.Teleological approach
  • D.Deontological approach

Answer: C

The concept of good is primary for the teleological approach.

Teleological theories, utilitarianism being the chief example, first say what is good (happiness, welfare) and then define right action as action that produces or promotes the good. The good is prior to the right.

Deontological theories reverse this: some actions are right or wrong in themselves, whatever their consequences, so the right is prior to the good. Contractarian theories ground morality in an agreement, and libertarian approaches in rights and liberty, not in a prior conception of the good.
