The more you post about ethics, the more convinced I am that you're actually a deontologist. Admittedly a deontologist whose vision of the good is the same as utilitarianism's (i.e. maximizing pleasure and minimizing pain), but your understanding of the right (i.e. the actions an individual ought to take in pursuit of the good) seem to me to be far more based in ideas of following certain basic moral principles than utilitarianism's understanding of the right (which is that every action should be calculated to maximize pleasure and minimize pain). I suppose that might be consistent with rule utilitarianism, but rule utilitarianism seems to me to be a more deontological ethic than a consequentialist one.
