What is the difference between Teleological Ethics and Deontological Ethics?

Deontological and Teleological Ethics are two brackets of ethical thinking under which more specific ethical theories and practices fall.Deontological Ethics refers to rule-based ethics. That is that something is determined as being moral or immoral by a set of rules and how the action fits into these. The consequence of the action has no bearing on whether it is moral or immoral, only the action itself contains this weighting.Examples of deontological ethical theories are:Kantian EthicsDivine Command Theory
Teleological Ethics refers to a consequence based approach. The end consequence of an action determines whether that action is moral or immoral. If the end consequence is good, then the action itself is therefore moral; however, the same action, bringing about bad consequences would be considered immoral.Examples of teleological ethical theories are:UtilitarianismSituation Ethics
The difference between teleological ethics and deontological ethics is that teleological is consequence-based and deontological is rule-based.
