In my email inbox this morning was a word of the day email. Not sure where that came from. Here is todays's word:
Deontology
.....the study of the nature of duty and obligation.
Deontology determines a moral framework for right and wrong — basically, rules for how to live your life. The names of philosophies usually have a root that can be converted into other parts of speech. “Deont-” is Greek for “being needed or necessary,” and the noun “deontology” is the name for an ethical rule-following philosophy. Another noun, “deontologist,” refers to one who practices or studies that philosophy. And “deontological,” an adjective, describes anything that follows the principles of deontology.
Heavy stuff to start the day.
