Ethics

Ethics or moral philosophy is a branch of philosophy that involves systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong conduct. The term ethics derives from Ancient Greek ἠθικός (ethikos), from ἦθος (ethos), meaning 'habit, custom'. The branch of philosophy axiology comprises the sub-branches of ethics and aesthetics, each concerned with values.

Ethics

The ethical decision is always the fearsome decision. When something matters enough that we are afraid of the consequences — afraid that even the honorable choice could result in harm or loss or sorrow — that’s when ethics are involved.

Henry W. Bloch, in The Importance of Ethics

Ethics

An ethic gone wrong is an essential preliminary to the sweat shop or the concentration camp and the death march.

Ethics

The World and Life are one. Physiological life is of course not "Life". And neither is psychological life. Life is the world.
Ethics does not treat of the world. Ethics must be a condition of the world, like logic.
Ethics and Aesthetics are one.

Ludwig Wittgenstein, in Journal entry (24 July 1916), p. 77e, Notebooks 1914-1916, as translated by Gertrude Elizabeth Margaret Anscombe, first edition (1961), Second edition (1984)
