	Ethics Commissions \| CityEthics.org
		Ethics commissions must not become political footballs, because this will undermine trust in them and cause people not to file complaints or seek advisory opinions, nor to have faith in their determinations.
		Another alternative, which several states employ, is to have a state ethics commission deal with municipal as well as state matters (the commission can be the same one, or a separate one that focuses on municipal matters, but has access to the same staff expertise).
		An Ethics Commission member may be removed from office by at least a three-fourths majority of the legislative body, after written notice, including a clear statement of the grounds for removal, and opportunity for reply, at least thirty days before voting on removal.

	Magna Moralia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Magna Moralia (or "Great Ethics") is a text considered by some to be by Aristotle.
		There is some question as to whether Aristotle was in fact the author; however, scholars such as J.L. Ackrill have no doubt about the attribution.
		In any case, it is considered a less mature piece than Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics.

	Omkarananda Ashram English Publications: Ethics, Society and World Peace
		Again, the intimacy of a relationship between the science of ethics and the science of economics is observable in the attempts of human intelligence at a determining and examining of the purposes aimed at, by [looking at] the values that govern, and the ideals that regulate, the facts and processes of economic activity.
		Ethics as a field of scientific, psychological and philosophical studies, is the significant achievement of the labours of generations of first-rate European thinkers.
		Ethics as an attitude, an outlook, a style of life derived from, and resting upon, mystical perceptions into the eternal and unalterable laws that guide the destinies of man and the universe, is the proud accomplishment of the Eastern mind of predominant metaphysical realizations.

	Christian Ethics. Volume I.—History of Ethics. \| Christian Classics Ethereal Library
		Ethics itself appears not as yet in scientific form and apart from the presentation of the subject-matter of dogmatics; it appears more in the popular edificatory than in the scientific writings, and approaches more nearly a scientific form in the works written in self-defense against the heathen.
		The highest good, as the ground-question of ethics, lie finds in the blissful communion of the immortal spirit with God, a communion which is to be attained to only in the Christian religion, and of which, in heathendom, not even the conception is to be found.
		The great decline of the scientific life in the Occident from and after the close of the fifth century, manifested its effects also in the field of ethics.

	Great Pyrenees Club of Puget Sound - About
		The Great Pyrenees Club of Puget Sound in keeping with its aims of advancing and protecting the interests of purebred Great Pyrenees has adopted the following Code Of Ethics to promote and foster the highest standards among breeders and owners and to encourage sportsmanship and cooperation in the improvement and advancement of our breed.
		Members shall bear in mind that a Code of Ethics is more than a set of rules; it is a commitment to a high standard of practice in owning and breeding and that adherence to the spirit of the Code is as important as adherence to its law.
		Anyone breeding a bitch bears great responsibility to the future of the breed; therefore a breeder shall plan each breeding with the paramount intention of advancing and protecting the breed, and only when in a position to give proper care to both bitch and offspring.

	SparkNotes: Nicomachean Ethics: Context
		His father, Nicomachus, was a physician at the court of Philip of Macedon, the father of Alexander the Great.
		Ethics is just one of a number of fields that Aristotle classifies as “practical science.” Unlike the natural sciences, which examine the world around us, these sciences deal with the practical aspects of human society and how best to arrange this society.
		The practical sciences are all closely connected, and Aristotle frequently expounds on the connection between the good life for the individual and the kind of state that could make this good life possible.

	Dietrich and Alice Von Hildebrand
		Circumstance ethics reacts further against the tendency to substitute legality for morality, to replace moral values by rights, to adapt morality to the juridical sphere, and to make of the juridical sphere the "causa exemplaris" of morality—a tendency that can be found among many Christians and sometimes even in Christian textbooks.
		The exponents of circumstance ethics deal with all moral commandments as if they received their moral significance only through a certain intention, and ignore the fact that certain actions are morally illegitimate and sinful, whatever the intention may be.
		Circumstance ethics includes a protest against the moral bureaucrat, and to a certain extent against the morally timorous man. It contrasts their desire to find safety in juridically formulated moral obligations with the "personal risk" of the man who relies on his conscience alone.

	City Task Force and Government Ethics Reform
		Similarly, the ethics policies that look good at a glance, upon closer inspection, may not be as strong as you thought.
		Because ethics is a broad topic, covering more than just a small subject area, it may be difficult to see those things which are obvious to others.
		In ethics, there is a fine balance between accomplishing everything at once, on a deadline, and taking the time to make sure you've covered everything.

	The Ethics of Belief
		So great was the noise they made, that a Commission was appointed to investigate the facts; but after the Commission had carefully inquired into all the evidence that could be got, it appeared that the accused were innocent.
		Those men who have most nearly done their duty in this respect have found that certain great principles, and these most fitted for the guidance of life, have stood out more and more clearly in proportion to the care and honesty with which they were tested, and have acquired in this way a practical certainty.
		The goodness and greatness of a man do not justify us in accepting a belief upon the warrant of his authority, unless there are reasonable grounds for supposing that he knew the truth of what he was saying.

	The Great Blogging Ethics Debate (washingtonpost.com)
		The war in Iraq put blogs in the public spotlight, but it also has given the blogosphere its first real scandal -- a scandal that is provoking a new debate among bloggers about what ethics, if any, apply to their medium.
		Yesterday's Filter was devoted to the case of Sean-Paul Kelley, a Texas blogger who admitted to Wired that he copied material from a subscription service for his popular war blog, The Agonist.
		While bloggers might be one-person shops, Pryor said he believes whether bloggers "like it or not, they have to follow ethics." He noted that bloggers seem to want it both ways -- to be taken seriously, to make an impact on discourse, all while being free of traditional rules.

	Theology Today - Vol 42, No. 1 - April 1985 - BOOK REVIEW - The Great Reversal: Ethics and the New Testament
		First, his description of the New Testament's ethic, its roots in the preaching of the historical Jesus, and its transmission to the second generation church, while valuable, is quite pedestrian.
		Rarely does Verhey depart from the critical consensus in his discussion of the biblical texts; rarely does he engage the reader in the contested nature of current biblical scholarship, whether in the discussion of the historical Jesus or in the exegesis of the texts themselves; rarely does he suggest creative solutions to exegetical impasses.
		Second, while he takes seriously the diversity of New Testament ethics and resists harmonistic or systematic arrangements of his interpretations, Verhey does not treat Scripture's diversity as an important methodological clue.

	"The Ethics of Reverence for Life" – Albert Schweitzer
		This group claims to see ethics in the natural world, and concludes thereby that whoever is in harmony with the universe is by that fact ethical.
		It admits that ethics is a matter of sentiment, but explains that it is given in the nature of man, for the sake of preserving his life.
		But they stopped on the very threshold of their great opportunity, because they were dominated by the contemporary dogma that ethics is concerned only with the relationship of man to man. Therefore, they twisted sympathy to mean only a relationship between like kinds.

	Reviews of 'Ethics (Oxford Philosophical Texts)'
		Herman Cohen (died c 1900), in his great work "Religion of Reason: Out of the Origins of Judaism" gives his opinion that to be a true religion a system must be true, not simply believed.
		Take Spinoza's ethics and put in the collective judgement that whatever is in the long term interests of the Jewish people is to be promoted thorough other peoples and considered right or good if done by the individual Jew, and you have returned to God, even if you are not religious.
		Will Durant said that he was the only great philosopher who lived in accordance with his thought and there is the conception of Spinoza as somehow living in the pure realm of his own thought.

	Ethics Newsline from the Institute for Global Ethics
		But it's not the only answer, and today's manager making the case for ethics must rely in addition on a set of secular answers -- not to denigrate the spiritual response, but to engage individuals needing other sources of conviction.
		In fact, most arguments for ethics these days are clothed in resolutely humanistic terms.
		As we forge ahead with rational arguments for business ethics, framed tightly in compliance terminology and delivered through the latest electronic media, the need for something older, simpler, quieter may be arising.

	GOP to Reverse Ethics Rule Blocking New DeLay Probe
		House Republican leaders, acknowledging that ethics disputes are taking a heavy toll on the party's image, decided yesterday to rescind a controversial rule change that led to the three-month shutdown of the ethics committee, according to officials who participated in the talks.
		Republicans touched off a political uproar in January by changing a rule that had required the ethics committee to continue considering a complaint against a House member if there was a deadlock between the committee's five Republicans and five Democrats.
		The ethics committee's chairman, Rep. Doc Hastings (R-Wash.), will support a vote on rule changes because he believes it is the only practical way to get the committee functioning, sources said.
