Ethics, virtue that ethics is not the only approach and, in fact, it is not even the main approach. Also mention utilitarianism (consequentialism), in which the consequences of the law determine its ethical value. In a given situation, our ethical duty is to execute the law which, in the situation, causes most of the utilities. This can be divided into utilitarianism and the utilitarianism of the rule, which differ as to whether the act as such or a rule behind the law is evaluated. According to Kant, the most precious thing is "a willingness to do its duty of work" (von Wright 1996, 156), which is an example of ethics (ethics of duty). (See also Lantos 2002.)

The choice between the theories of ethics is not a simple practical choice but a serious ethics. Deep ethical notions extended as responsibility give us deeply into ethericity, as well as in the question of the virtue of ethics, which show that the study of ethics is already responsible for ethics; There is no logico-conceptual point from which one could take a "worthless" view. The characterization of the utilitarianism given by Moore (1978, 96-97) is a good example, the ethical value of an act being determined by the "intrinsic value" of a law, not "no mental attitude", we can I have about it or "the pattern", we can have towards it, or if an agent "has reason" expect certain types of consequences. Such utilitarianism is an ethically demanding approach, just like all ethical theories are - and must be.

Ethics, utilitarianism and the ethics of virtue are included in so-called normative ethics, which have been studied in philosophical ethics. However, the whole study of philosophical ethics has been so-called metaethic, which focuses attention on a conceptual (linguistic) and fundamental study. Von Wright 1996 is an excellent example of this approach, with the fundamental study, including, for example, the character and epistemology of ethical values.
