Abstract
Abstract: The paper presents the three main ethical views, namely virtue ethics, deontology and consequencialism, which are predominant in moral philosophy nowadays. It sorts out the main features of each theory pointing to the main advantages as well as to the main disadvantages of each approach. Afterwards, it argues for a consequentialist account of morals, that is, a particular form of utilitarianism. Resumo: O trabalho apresenta os três principais pontos de vista éticos que são predominantes, hoje, nas discussões da filosofia moral, a saber, a ética de virtudes, a deontologia e o conseqüencialismo. Ele revela os principais traços de cada teoria apontando os seus pontos positivos e negativos. Posteriormente, ele argumenta em favor de um enfoque conseqüencialista, isto é, por uma forma particular de utilitarismo.
