List of paradoxes
This is a list of paradoxes , grouped thematically. The grouping is approximate, as paradoxes may fit into more than one category.
Deontological ethics or deontology (from Greek deon , "obligation, duty"; and -logia ) is the normative ethical position that judges the morality of an action based on the action's adherence to a rule or rules. [ 1 ] It is sometimes described as "duty" or "obligation" or "rule" -based ethics, because rules "bind you to your duty". [ 2 ] Deontological ethics is commonly contrasted to consequentialism . [ 3 ] Deontological ethics is also contrasted to pragmatic ethics .
Deontological ethics
In philosophy , the theory of materialism holds that the only thing that exists is matter or energy ; that all things are composed of material and all phenomena (including consciousness ) are the result of material interactions. In other words, matter is the only substance , and reality is identical with the actually occurring states of energy and matter. To many philosophers, 'materialism' is synonymous with ' physicalism '.

Pragmatism
Pragmatism is a philosophical tradition centered on the linking of practice and theory. It describes a process where theory is extracted from practice, and applied back to practice to form what is called intelligent practice . [ citation needed ] Important positions characteristic of pragmatism include instrumentalism , radical empiricism , verificationism , conceptual relativity , and fallibilism . [ citation needed ] There is general consensus among pragmatists that philosophy should take the methods and insights of modern science into account. [ 1 ] Charles Sanders Peirce (and his pragmatic maxim ) deserves much of the credit for pragmatism, [ 2 ] along with later twentieth century contributors, William James and John Dewey . [ 1 ]
Philosophical movement
A philosophical movement is either the appearance or increased popularity of a specific school of philosophy , or a fairly broad but identifiable sea-change in philosophical thought on a particular subject.
