Ethics&/vs. Morality

32/28/2015

What is Ethics?

• Ethics are standards of conduct (or social norms) that prescribe behavior.• Ethics as a field of study is a normative

discipline whose main goals are prescriptive and evaluative rather than descriptive and explanatory. So Ethicists are different from social scientists.

• Ethicists (or moral philosophers) study standards of conduct.

The science of human duty; the rules of human conduct.

The function of morality is "to combat the deleterious consequences of human sympathies" (Beauchamp). Its aim is "to contribute to betterment -- or at least non-deterioration -- of the human predicament" (Warnock). "Ethics aims at discovering what are those other properties belonging to all things which are good" (Moore).

What is Morality?

Ethics and Morality • So that we can see, moral standards

distinguish between right and wrong, good and bad, virtue and vice, justice and injustice.

• Ethics are not general standards of conduct but the standards of a particular profession, occupation, institution, or group within society. The word “ethics”, when used in this way, usually serves as a modifier for another word, e.g. business ethics, medical ethics, sports ethics, military ethics, etc.

• They are all professional ethics.

to distinguish between Ethics and Law

• (1) some actions that are illegal may not be unethical. (kill)

• (2) some actions that are unethical may not be illegal. (secret)

• (3) laws can be unethical or immoral. (Nazi’s)

• (4) we use different kinds of mechanisms to express, teach, inculcate, and enforce laws

and ethics.

2/28/2015

• Laws are often expressed in highly technical and complex jargon, and we often need specially trained people---lawyers and judges---to interpret them. Ethics and morals tend to be less technical and complex.

• (5) we use the coercive power of government to enforce laws. People who break certain laws can be fined, imprisoned, or executed. People who violate ethical or moral standards do not face these kind of punishments unless their action also violate laws. We often “punish” people who disobey moral or ethical obligations by simply expressing our disapproval or by condemning the behavior.
