Quizplus · Accepted Answer

For a formalist, a particular act is in itself right or wrong, always and in every situation. For example, lying is wrong. There are no justifications for it, and its wrongness does not depend on the situation in which the lie is told. For the consequentialist, lying itself is not unethical.
