I think, if I remember correctly, that the absolutists think it's wrong to consider the consequences, only the rule matters. In one of the first two articles on his system, Forsyth put some effort into matching up his four quadrants with philosophical theories - I know that one position corresponded to deontology and I'm pretty sure that something about teleology was another one - and I'm scolding myself right now for having my stacks of papers in such disarray that I can't just reach for the papers and tell you. Unfortunately, I just have paper copies and not pdfs of them.
I have to be careful that my personal prejudices in favor of subtlety and complexity don't bias my research - it could be a danger. ;)
