Deontology in Captain America: Winter Soldier and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1
Premise of Discussion
So, let us remind ourselves in a tad more detail, since we did touch on it last time, what is deontology?
The word deontology derives from the Greek words for duty (deon) and science (or study) of (logos). In contemporary moral philosophy, deontology is one of those kinds of normative theories regarding which choices are morally required, forbidden, or permitted. In other words, deontology falls within the domain of moral theories that guide and assess our choices of what we ought to do (deontic theories), in contrast to those that guide and assess what kind of person we are and should be (aretaic [virtue] theories). And within the domain of moral theories that assess our choices, deontologists—those who subscribe to deontological theories of morality—stand in opposition to consequentialists.
Where Captain America is an incredibly obvious deontological figure, what ways do we see deontological decision making in both him and in what characters from the Guardians?
