David Ross Chapter 9 Summary

471 Words2 Pages
Chapter nine focuses on deontological theory, these theories “reject consequences as a basis for morality and instead tend to focus upon duties and intentions” (152). While reading chapter nine I discovered many new things, one of those things that I found interesting is that David Ross used deontological theory, which claimed “there are at least seven fundamental moral duties” (153): fidelity, reparation, gratitude, justice, beneficence, self-improvement, and nonmaleficence. Ross claims that there “at least” seven moral duties. If there are at least seven moral duties can a person just insert any moral duty that he feels applies to his situation? Kant’s theory has many different aspects, but he specifically talks about the goodwill factor.
