11. Particularism


With particularism, one makes decisions that are context-dependent.

The decision-making process is strictly dependent on context and not general properties, like don't kill, don't lie, etc. 

It appears to be a form of rule utilitarianism. 

Ultimately any decision that benefits the most people is the right decision. 

This is quite consequentialist.
