Ethics is the central focus of Shaftonist thought. To Shafto, discerning right action is the ultimate purpose of human thought, and all other fields of philosophical inquiry are either precursors or extensions of ethics. In Shaftonism, the relationship between essence and action can be described as "being is becoming is doing" (''éa hue ktor é vara''), thus one must consistently discern and ''do'' right in order to ''be'' right in accordance with the Ultimate Right. | |||
To this end, Shaftonism presents a two-pillared ethical system: a deontic ethics concerned with duties and roles, and an essential ethics concerned with virtue, character, principle and teleology. The two pillars support and condition one another: satisfying one's duties and roles is a virtue and essential to good character, and teleological principles inform the proper conduct of various social and relational roles. | |||
