	Ethics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ethics (from Greek ethikos) is the branch of axiology – one of the four major branches of philosophy, alongside metaphysics, epistemology, and logic – which attempts to understand the nature of morality; to define that which is right from that which is wrong.
		There are several sub-branches of applied ethics examining the ethical problems of different professions, such as business ethics, medical ethics, engineering ethics and legal ethics, while technology assessment and environmental assessment study the effects and implications of new technologies or projects on nature and society.
		Ethics has been applied to family structure, sexuality, and how society views the roles of individuals; leading to several distinct and unrelated fields of applied ethics, including feminism.

		From the point of view of theistic religions, to the extent that ethics stems from revealed truth from divine sources, ethics is studied as a branch of theology.
		Ethics in systematic form, and apart from religious belief, is as little found in apocryphal or Judæo-Hellenistic literature as in the Bible.
		Hindu ethics are related to Hindu beliefs, such as reincarnation, which is a way of expressing the need for reciprocity, as one may end up in someone else's shoes "in a future life".

	Religion and Ethics
		The most important contribution of religions to the search for a universal ethic, he argues, is in terms of both the emphasis within religious traditions on the need to overcome ego‑centeredness and the affirmation that these highest values are not only arrived at by human reflection but are truly grounded in reality itself.
		Crossing Boundaries: Ethics in the History of Mysticism edited by G. William Barnard, Jeffrey J. Kripal (Seven Bridges Press) is an important and significant book in the study of religion that addresses the present growing interest in the history, philosophy, and phenomenology of mysticism.
		Shear's discussion is primarily focused on the latter "state‑of‑being" approach to ethics, emphasizing in particular two centrally important modes of mystical experience: "pure consciousness" (a state of awareness that lacks internal content‑Le., an "emptiness" or "void") and "pure positive affect" (a state of pure bliss, joy, and inner fulfillment).

	Humanist: Missing the Forest for the Trees - ethics versus religion
		Yet, despite this apparent interest in ethics and ethical behavior, we go to enormous lengths to avoid dealing with ethical issues, and this tendency to flee from moral concerns is particularly pronounced in the United States.
		Religion is ultimately based on some metaphysical view of "the ultimate," and the rules and doctrines of a religion are the means of responding to that ultimate.
		Ethics as a field of study is divided into two realms: micro-level ethics and macro-level ethics.

	What is Ethics?
		Ethics, however, cannot be confined to religion nor is it the same as religion.
		Ethics, for example, refers to those standards that impose the reasonable obligations to refrain from rape, stealing, murder, assault, slander, and fraud.
		Ethics also means, then, the continuous effort of studying our own moral beliefs and our moral conduct, and striving to ensure that we, and the institutions we help to shape, live up to standards that are reasonable and solidly-based.

		Ethics and religion: the basis and sanctions of morality.
		Religion can only provide a solid base for ethics if religion's own base is solid - if it is founded on irrefutable evidence or on common sense that is plain to all.
		Religions often preach double standards - one rule for behaviour towards one group of people, a different rule when a less favoured group are involved, such as women, foreigners, or unbelievers.

		The "old world" ethic stressed loyalty to the client, even at some cost to the legal system; the "old WASP" ethic emphasized fidelity to legal institutions and their improvement, even at the cost of sometimes having to say no to clients.
		For one thing, formal codes of ethics never aimed at capturing the full network of understandings that lawyers observe in their dealings with one another, with clients, and with the courts.
		The old moralistic codes of ethics were often derided in the academy as self-serving attempts to fend off regulation.

		This second problem is not as severe as it may seem at first because all religions have remarkable agreement on the basic principles of ethics.
		In spite of these common elements in the ethics of all the major religions, they (with the exception of Christianity) are built on a legal system which can easily degenerate into casuistry.
		Christian ethics are based on internal motivation also, but with the difference that one is to obey the divine command "from the heart" as a result of having been forgiven, not for any negative or positive reward.

		One particularly popular view of the relationship of religion and morality is that what makes something right is that God commands it and what makes something wrong is that God forbids it.
		If we follow the Aristotelian views in ethics, ethics is centered on the idea of happiness.
		If these people are right, then if there were no God, ethics would have a hole in its middle, since happiness would be something that human beings could not attain if there were no God.
