Abstract

This study of the grounds for recognition of conscientious objection to military service focuses on the conventional distinction between deontological and teleological moral theories. It is analytically proved that if it is possible to justify conscientious objection on deontological grounds, then this must necessarily be the case even on some teleological grounds.
