Topic: Ethics



  
 Ethics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Main articles: Ethics in religion and Ethics in the Bible
Some philosophers, such as Kierkegaard viewed meta-ethics as a pursuit that could only be understood in terms of religion.
Meta-ethical answers to these questions focus on the issues of universal truths, the will of God, the role of reason in ethical judgments, and the meaning of ethical terms themselves.

 Feminist Ethics
Ethics should be built on a model that fits life as most people live it on an everyday basis.
Although Held knows that not all women live in the private world, and although she does not believe that all women are determined by nature to have a distinctive set of moral experiences, she nonetheless claims that a sizable gap exists between women's and men's moral experience.
Like many ethicists who are developing feminine approaches to ethics, however, Blum believes that the person who would be moral must do more than merely obey the letter of the law.

 Aristotle's Ethics
He conceives of god as a being who continually enjoy a “single and simple pleasure” (1154b26)—the pleasure of pure thought—whereas human beings, because of their complexity, grow weary of whatever they do.
Aristotle indicates several times in VII.11-14 that merely to say that pleasure is a good does not do it enough justice; he also wants to say that the highest good is a pleasure.
Virtuous activity makes a life happy not by guaranteeing happiness in all circumstances, but by serving as the goal for the sake of which lesser goods are to be pursued.

 Key Distinctions for Value Theories, and the Importance of Hume
This has been a source of great confusion in ethics, where we often have the sense that because "only the means count" and "only the ends count" are logically exclusive (they cannot both be true), they are therefore logical contradictories (the falsehood of one implies that truth of the other), which they are not.
Note that "mean" in this context originally meant "middle," as it still does in statistics and in scientific expressions like "the mean annual temperature" of a place.
Actions, manifestation of moral character; what we expect from what we know of people, or what we use to establish what we know about people; a bad person may do what is right, and a good person may do what is wrong.

 Ethics : Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy Online
Once we have some grip on what ethics is, we can begin to ask questions about moral principles themselves.
One central modern tradition is that of consequentialism (see Consequentialism).
The question of what makes for a human life that is good for the person living it has been at the heart of ethics since the Greek philosophers enquired into eudaimonia (‘happiness’) (see Aristotle; Eudaimonia; Happiness; Life, meaning of; Plato; Socrates).
