道德绝对主义主张某些行为绝对是错误或是对的，无论当时的情境或意图如何。举例来说，说谎这种行为，无论其动机如何（即使是为了拯救其他人的生命），都被视为不道德的。

Moral absolutism is an ethical view that particular actions are intrinsically right or wrong. Stealing, for instance, might be considered to be always immoral, even if done for the well-being of others (e.g., stealing food to feed a starving family), and even if it does in the end promote such a good. Moral absolutism stands in contrast to other categories of normative ethical theories such as consequentialism, which holds that the morality (in the wide sense) of an act depends on the consequences or the context of the act.
