| Relativism | |||
| High relativism | Low relativism | ||
| Idealism | High idealism | Situationists (HIHR)Individuals should act to secure the best possible consequences for all concerned even if doing so will violate traditional rules about ethics | Absolutists (HILR)Individuals should act in ways that are consistent with moral rules, for doing so will in most cases yield the best consequences for all concerned |
| Low idealism | Subjectivists (LIHR)Individuals’ personal values and perspectives should guide their moral choices, rather than universal ethical principles or desire to achieve positive consequences | Exceptionists (LILR)Individuals should act in ways that are consistent with moral rules, but one should remain pragmatically open to exceptions to these rules | |
