I referenced an article recommending a return to 'duty' earlier this week and just by coincidence we also have a revised article on 'duty' published in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. It's a pretty simple and straightforward article as these articles go, and I appreciated the author's focus. The bulk of the article is focused on agent-based duty and patient-based duty. There are also some considerations around duty and consequences, and duty when outcomes are uncertain. Image: Wikipedia's article on duty.
