Traditionally, moral philosophers recognize three different ways of thinking about morality:
the deontological way,
the consequentialist way,
and the virtue ethics way
Deontologists think of morality as being fundamentally about moral principles.
The consequentialist, by contrast, tends to see value as being realized by goods in the world, such as friendship, knowledge, beauty and so on, and the question of pluralism is thus a question about how many fundamental goods there are.
Virtue ethicists focus on how agents should be, so are interested both in principles of action (or motivation) and the pursuit of goods, such as friendship.
