206 B2799 Putting aside the question of whether the philosopher Kant directly influenced novelist Dostoevsky, Cherkasova combines the Kantian concept of deontology with Dostoevsky's category of the heart, rather than reason, as the moral foundation for ethics, in this exploration of why duty is central to our moral life. Consequentialism is usually understood as distinct from both deontology, which derives the rightness or wrongness of an act from the nature of the act itself and virtue ethics, which focuses on the character of the agent rather than on the nature or consequences of the action itself. Deontology is the approach to ethics that focuses on the good or evil of the act alone, not necessarily the outcome, If God commands something is evil, or, better yet, if a theist interprets from the Bible that an action is evil, then it is not to be done in any circumstance in accordance with this deontological approach. |
