I find this answer strange. There are lots of Christians, but we don't do posts on Christian theology in case we might find it useful to understand the mind of a Christian in order to convince them to do something.
Come on, why did Alicorn write a post on deontology without giving any explanation why we should learn about it? What am I missing here? If she (or anyone else) thinks that we should put some weight into deontology in our moral beliefs, why not just come out and say that?
I'm pretty sure I remember a couple of comments suggesting this topic.
I can't speak for alicorn but I'll come out and say that I think the metaethics sequence is the weakest of the sequences and the widespread preference utilitarianism here has not been well justified. I'm not a deontologist but I think understanding the deontologist perspective will probably lead to less wrong thinking about ethics.
Yes, there was some enthusiasm about the topic here.
