Ethics (also known as moral philosophy) is a branch of philosophy that addresses questions about morality—that is, concepts such as good vs. bad, noble vs. ignoble, right vs. wrong, and matters of justice, love, peace, and virtue.

Major branches of ethics include:

  • meta-ethics, about the theoretical meaning and reference of moral propositions and how their truth-values (if any) may be determined;
  • normative ethics, about the practical means of determining a moral course of action;
  • applied ethics, about how moral outcomes can be achieved in specific situations;
  • moral psychology, about how moral capacity or moral agency develops and what its nature is; and
  • descriptive ethics, about what moral values people actually abide by.

Within each of these branches are many different schools of thought and still further sub-fields of study.

What exactly does the law and ethics have to do with each other?
Q. As a hopeful lawyer soon-to-be (okay wannabe, you made me say it) what does ethics have to do with the law? I mean, I know ethics has good intentions. It can restrict lawyers from doing bad things. But it also gives criminals leeway to get away from the law? How do they complement each other? If you know the origin of "ethics" (from "ethos") and logic (from "logos") upon which much of the laws have been built in the history of the world, you'll see why the Ancient Greeks called them branches of Philosophy. So why have we only taken "ethics" and "logic" from Philosophy and applied it to the law? There's aesthetics, metaphysics, and others? Seems like the law is just trying to keep out the others. I say get rid of ethics and everything… [cont.]

A. You have to remember that nation's law are not just based on logic or ethics. Take for example slavery in America, it was perfectly legal to own slaves...was is right, no. So, you have to take into account the mental state of a nation and how they make their laws. Just like some third world nations, they see their laws as just, but we as Americans see them as horrific tools to oppress women, men, etc...

What kind of Ethics should the government put into place when using embryos for Stem Cell research?
Q. This is for a paper. I feel that the government should have a code of ethics in place when researchers are obtaining embryos for stem cell research.

A. There already is a code in place, existent cell lines only. However when that is overturned the standard is generally when you have IVF treatment you fill out a waiver and you can opt to donate any "left over" embryo's to research. The code should be informed consent on the part of the doners

Ethics (from the Ancient Greek "ethikos", meaning "arising from habit"), a major branch of philosophy, is the study of value or quality. It covers the analysis and employment of concepts such as right, wrong, good, evil, justice and responsibility.

Sourced

  • The most optimistic ethics have all begun by emphasizing the element of failure involved in the condition of man; without failure, no ethics; for a being who, from the very start, would be an exact co-incidence with himself, in a perfect plenitude, the notion of having-to-be would have no meaning. One does not offer an ethics to a God. It is impossible to propose any to man if one defines him as nature, as something given. The so-called psychological or empirical ethics manage to establish themselves only by introducing surreptitiously some flaw within the manthing which they have first defined.
  • Poetry is an ethic. By ethic I mean a secret code of behavior, a discipline constructed and conducted according to the capabilities of a man who rejects the falsifications of the categorical imperative.
  • Strong ethics keep corporations healthy. Poor ethics make companies sick. Values are the immune system of every organisation.
