Some have done this by combining utilitarian and deontological approaches in their analysis of particular problems, some have adopted a pluralistic position in ethics, still others have opted for an Aristotlean or a pragmatic or some other approach to issues, assimilating the contributions of those, for instance, working on virtue ethics either as an alternative to or as an addition to the traditional deontological and utilitarian approaches.
