	Language, Reflection and the Dimensions of Conduct by Peter Amato (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Ethics involves the values of a culture insofar as they are subject to reflection, when the ethos of a community is thematized reflectively and thus as standards and values it can be regarded as action-guiding: By ethos we refer to values or standards as providing a description of normality.
		Ethics and morality are thus closely interconnected with culture and history, but emerge from a stance of reflection upon them.
		The contrast of ethics and morality with ethos and mores shows that the ought is essential to conduct, for it arises upon reflection, in a stance of self awareness and assessment of practices and of ourselves as actors for whom conduct matters.
