Yeah, wise words.

It's so sad that such wisdom came from a plagiarist, communist, and rapist.

🙁
I can deplore the darker side of Roald Dahl and yet still appreciate the wisdom of Willy Wonka.

"To each their own" was the tile of a paper I had to write during law school.

I couldn't conclude authoritatively what the heck does it mean.

Personally, I started as a deontologist but moved to natural law ethics and now I am soft landing into virtue ethics.

Life is a continuum.
How would the concept of deontology apply to the bombing of Hiroshima? Would you have been for it, or agin it? Just thought I would apply a true-life happening to your take on this thread, given the consequences of that event.

How? Er... you apply dentological ethics to the specific event?

You... just... do it. Once that is done, one lays down the universal principles acceptable to reason and come up with rules or duties to judge whether an action was right or wrong.

Not to make light of your answer, but, what you say here is what people with common sense do in every facet of their actions.
you actually say reason, right, wrong....things one thinks about as a natural human process. What, pray tell, does deontology add to one's judgement, another word you use..

There a different approaches: take action based on the consequences achieving pleasure maximization or pain reduction, take action based not on outcome or fulfillment of duties but on flourishing through virtues, and combinations thereon.

That could be one way of saying the obvious, which is to do what logical people with common sense do.
