Essay

In a short essay, list and discuss the three teleological frameworks.
a. Ethical egoism-based on the belief that every individual should act in a way to promote himself or herself if the net result will generate, on balance, positive rather than negative results.
b. Utilitarianism-can be based on single acts of individuals (act utilitarianism) or on guiding behavior indirectly through an evaluation of ethical conduct via rules procedures (rule utilitarianism).
c. Sidgwick's dualism-attempted to bridge the gap between the two competing frameworks of ethical egoism and utilitarianism. At the core of the argument is that both previous theories had elements of using cost-benefit analysis to help analyze the actions of individuals. Sidgwick's dualism attempted to resolve the fundamental difference of whether the actions for one's self-benefit impact just the individual or others.
