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.
Duty and obligation. Hmm... C'est Bon. We need more awareness surrounding "duty and obligation".!!
Good word, LP.! I've never seen that one before either.
Thanks for joining in.
Now if we can get another one or two to add some additional enlightenment, we can all expand our personal lexicons.!!
