Ethics | 1031 Portal

Ethics, also known as moral philosophy, is the branch of philosophy that systematizes, defends, and recommends concepts of right and wrong conduct. The term 'ethics' is derived from the Greek word 'ethos,' meaning character or custom. Normative ethics focuses on developing general principles for moral behavior. Applied ethics examines specific ethical issues in real-world contexts. Metaethics explores the fundamental nature of ethics, including the existence of objective moral facts and the role of moral reasoning.
