Definition

  • Ethics is the study of right and wrong, good and evil, and virtue and vice. Constructing and analyzing arguments about what actions are morally right, what goals are morally good, and what aspects of character are morally virtuous, those engaged in ethical inquiry ultimately seek to determine how we ought to respond to morally relevant features of the world.
