Ethics
Ethics or moral philosophy is a branch of philosophy that "involves systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong behavior".''Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy'' The field of ethics, along with aesthetics, concerns matters of value; these fields comprise the branch of philosophy called axiology. Ethics seeks to resolve questions of human morality by defining concepts such as good and evil, right and wrong, virtue and vice, justice and crime. As a field of intellectual inquiry, moral philosophy is related to the fields of moral psychology, descriptive ethics, and value theory. Three major areas of study within ethics recognized today are: # Meta-ethics, concerning the theoretical meaning and reference of moral propositions, and how their truth values (if any) can be determined; # Normative ethics, concerning the practical means of determining a moral course of action; # Applied ethics, concerning what a person is obligated (or permitted) to do ...

Ethics (Abelard)
The ''Ethica'' (''Ethics''), also known as ''Scito te ipsum'' (''Know Yourself''), is a twelfth-century philosophical treatise by Peter Abelard. In it, Abelard argues that sin or "scorn for God" is fundamentally a matter of consent, not deeds. Background and publication history Abelard and other medieval philosophers wrestled with the problem of sin. The essential penitentials of Abelard's time implied that both thoughts and actions constituted sin, with the ''Decretum'' by Burchard of Worms going so far as to suggest that planning to commit wrongful acts was indistinguishable from performing them. These penitentials, however, neglected to consider the role of one's intentions or motives. Abelard departs from these prevailing conceptions of sin in the ''Ethica'', which he completed in 1138 or 1139, shortly after finishing a commentary on the Epistle to the Romans. The subtitle of the work, ''Scito te ipsum'', was a "popular motto among monastic writers of the time". Abelard' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ethics (Bonhoeffer Book)
''Ethics'' (german: link=no, Ethik) is an unfinished book by Dietrich Bonhoeffer that was edited and published after his death by Eberhard Bethge in 1949. Bonhoeffer worked on the book in the early 1940s and intended it to be his '' magnum opus''. At the time of writing, he was a double agent; he was working for , Nazi Germany's military intelligence organization but was simultaneously involved in the 20 July plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler. The central theme of ''Ethics'' is Christlikeness. The arguments in the book are informed by Lutheran Christology and are influenced by Bonhoeffer's participation in the German resistance to Nazism. ''Ethics'' is commonly compared to Bonhoeffer's earlier book '' The Cost of Discipleship'', with scholars debating the extent to which Bonhoeffer's views on Christian ethics changed between his writing of the two books.

Ethics (Spinoza Book)
''Ethics, Demonstrated in Geometrical Order'' ( la, Ethica, ordine geometrico demonstrata), usually known as the ''Ethics'', is a philosophical treatise written in Latin by Baruch Spinoza (Benedictus de Spinoza). It was written between 1661 and 1675 and was first published posthumously in 1677. The book is perhaps the most ambitious attempt to apply the method of Euclid in philosophy. Spinoza puts forward a small number of definitions and axioms from which he attempts to derive hundreds of propositions and corollaries, such as "When the Mind imagines its own lack of power, it is saddened by it", "A free man thinks of nothing less than of death", and "The human Mind cannot be absolutely destroyed with the Body, but something of it remains which is eternal." Summary Part I: Of God The first part of the book addresses the relationship between God and the universe. Spinoza was engaging with a tradition that held: God exists outside of the universe; God created the universe for ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
The Next Generation)
''The'' () is a grammatical article in English, denoting persons or things that are already or about to be mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words. It is derived from gendered articles in Old English which combined in Middle English and now has a single form used with nouns of any gender. The word can be used with both singular and plural nouns, and with a noun that starts with any letter. This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers. Pronunciation In most dialects, "the" is pronounced as (with the voiced dental fricative followed by a schwa) when followed by a consonant sound, and as (homophone of the archai ...

Nicomachean Ethics
The ''Nicomachean Ethics'' (; ; grc, Ἠθικὰ Νικομάχεια, ) is Aristotle's best-known work on ethics, the science of the good for human life, which is the goal or end at which all our actions aim. (I§2) The aim of the inquiry is political science and the master art of politics. (I§1) It consists of ten books or scrolls, understood to be based on notes from his lectures at the Lyceum. The title is often assumed to refer to his son Nicomachus, to whom the work was dedicated or who may have edited it (although his young age makes this less likely). Alternatively, the work may have been dedicated to his father, who was also called Nicomachus. The work plays a pre-eminent role in explaining Aristotelian ethics. The theme of the work is a Socratic question previously explored in the works of Plato, Aristotle's friend and teacher, about how men should best live. In his ''Metaphysics'', Aristotle describes how Socrates, the friend and teacher of Plato, had turned philos ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ethics (Moore Book)
''Ethics'' is a book about ethics by G. E. Moore first published in 1912. It endorses a version of consequentialism. Moore wrote ''Ethics'' around age 40 while living with his sisters in Richmond (then part of Surrey). Soon thereafter, he went back to the University of Cambridge to become a lecturer. He wrote part of it in mid-1911 while staying at a cottage that Lytton Strachey had rented. ''Ethics'' and '' Principia Ethica'' (1903) are Moore's only two books about ethics. In a 1952 autobiographical essay, Moore wrote that he preferred ''Ethics'' to ''Principia'' "because it seems to me to be much clearer and far less full of confusions and invalid arguments". ''Ethics'' was first published in 1912 as part of the Home University Library of Modern Knowledge by Williams and Norgate in the United Kingdom and Henry Holt and Company Henry Holt and Company is an American book-publishing company based in New York City.
