Ethical theories which place strong emphasis on rights and duty, such as the deontological ethics of Immanuel Kant, are often forms of moral absolutism, as are many religious moral codes.
Eetilised teooriad, mis rõhutavad õigusi ja kohustusi, nagu Immanuel Kanti deontoloogiline eetika, on sageli moraalse absolutismi vormid, nagu ka paljud religioossed moraalsed reeglid.
