 Regarding three of the most prominent types of ethical theory—consequentialism, deontology, and virtue ethics—phenomenological considerations specific to each can help illuminate them. Some versions of consequentialism hold that pleasure and pain have positive and negative value respectively that figure in determining the deontic status of actions. Since these experiences arguably have a phenomenological element to them, one can expect phenomenological analysis to help explain the value they do have. Taking a Kantian view as a model of deontology with the emphasis on respect for persons, the phenomenology of respect for persons will bear importantly in fully illuminating this kind of theory (see Drummond 2006, Kriegel 2018, Kriegel &amp; Timmons 2021) And, we have already noted work on the phenomenology of virtue (Annas 2008) that can be brought to bear on virtue ethics. (These points are taken from Kriegel 2019).
