	Edmond J. Safra Foundation Center for Ethics : What is practical ethics?
		Practical ethics in the professions should consist of more than a study of the codes of ethics, such as the legal profession's code and model rules, or the emulation of role models, as in clinical rounds in teaching hospitals.
		Practical ethics tries to relate professional rules and clinical experience to the broader social context in which professionals practice, and to the deeper moral assumptions on which the professions depend.
		Practical ethics in the professions is also political in another, more familiar sense: it addresses the question of who should regulate the ethics of the professions.

	PRACTICAL Essay 9, Henry Sidgwick, Practical Ethics
		Such practical judgment will in many cases be the result of a process of reasoning of some kind, either performed immediately before the act is done or at some previous time; in these cases the term ``unreasonable'' seems obviously appropriate.
		Ribot's terms, he suffers from ``excess'' and not ``defect'' of ``impulsion,'' and appears to himself compelled to commit some atrocious crime or grotesque folly, or otherwise to act in a manner contrary to his practical judgment, under the constraint of an impulse which he feels to be irresistible.
		Finally, there remains pure undisguised willfulness---where a man with his eyes open simply refuses to act in accordance with his practical judgment, although the latter is clearly present in his consciousness, and his attention is fully directed towards it.

	Science & Environmental Health Network - The Networker: Ethics For Our Time: Mar 05
		We at SEHN want to affirm ethics as a driving, motivating force for helping humans behave in ways that are more “right” than “wrong.” And we have often asserted that one major measure of “right” today is the long-term survival of human beings on the planet.
		Whatever practical ethics we evolve (that is, ethics that we can enthusiastically put into practice with some confidence about being on the side of “right” most of the time) must also make room for forgiveness, because human beings make mistakes.
		Potter said that any ethic for the human species has to be based on the possibility of severely degraded quality of life--even human extinction--and that each of us has the capacity to figure out how we “ought” to live, in order to avoid the fate of most other species.

	Complete Guide to Ethics Management: An Ethics Toolkit for Managers
		Managing ethics in the workplace involves identifying and prioritizing values to guide behaviors in the organization, and establishing associated policies and procedures to ensure those behaviors are conducted.
		Ethics programs do produce deliverables, e.g., codes, policies and procedures, budget items, meeting minutes, authorization forms, newsletters, etc. However, the most important aspect from an ethics management program is the process of reflection and dialogue that produces these deliverables.
		Note that codes of ethics and codes of conduct may be the same in some organizations, depending on the organization's culture and operations and on the ultimate level of specificity in the code(s).

		We are a group of philosophers with research and teaching interests in practical ethics, with a common methodological focus on remaining sensitive to the demands of both theory and practice.
		Rather than approaching ethics in an overly abstract way, or in an "applied" fashion that is divorced from ethical and political theory, core ethics faculty at USC are sensitive to the demands of both theory and practice.
		In addition, there is a strong interest among core ethics faculty in issues at the intersection of ethics and metaphysics, such as the ontology of disease and health, the metaphysics of embryogenesis, and the nature of human action.

	Normative ethics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Normative ethics is the branch of the philosophical study of ethics concerned with classifying actions as right and wrong, as opposed to descriptive ethics.
		Descriptive ethics deal with what the population believes to be right and wrong, while normative ethics deal with what the population should believe to be right and wrong.
		Moreover, because it examines standards for the rightness and wrongness of actions, normative ethics is distinct from meta-ethics, which studies the nature of moral statements, and from applied ethics, which places normative rules in practical contexts.

	PRACTICAL ETHICS with MICHAEL SCRIVEN, Ph.D.
		Some people think of ethics as a little window dressing -- you know, the Machiavellian point of view, which is you want to appear ethical without necessarily being ethical; you want to get away with as much as you can.
		It's a misconception of what ethics is. It's not an imposition from without; it's simply a long-term survival strategy for humanity, and anybody working against ethics is simply working against everybody else.
		And similarly with ethics; we try to encourage the media to push for it, the schools to push for it, the general attitude of business to push for it.

	Reid, T.; Haakonssen, K., ed.: Practical Ethics.
		As the originator of the Scottish school of "common sense" philosophy and the foremost contemporary critic of David Hume's moral skepticism, Thomas Reid (1710-1796) played a hitherto unknown role in applying the tradition of natural law to morality and politics.
		In presenting for the first time the philosopher's manuscript lectures and papers on practical ethics, Knud Haakonssen shows how these writings not only add depth to Reid's criticism of Hume but also clarify his own social, moral, and political thought.
		As a whole, Reid's Practical Ethics constitutes a most significant addition of source material for the study of the Scottish Enlightenment.

		Ethics is not taught widely on a basis of rational analysis.
		Russell states that the ethical behaviour of the savage is differentiated from that of civilised society merely by the degree of foresight; in other terms, by the amount of information processed prior to actions.

	A Critical Review of Peter Singer's Practical Ethics
		Singer is correct that ethics demands considering more than your own self-interest, but he draws the wrong conclusion when he says that ethics should then be about the consideration of everyone's interests.
		In Formal Ethics the logician Harry Gensler formalizes this intuitive view that universal ethics must be logically consistent and then uses it to derive a proof of the Golden Rule (he has a more accessible proof in another book, An Introduction to Logic).
		In the opening chapter Singer claims that the essence of ethics is that it demands considering more than your own self-interest, but in the closing chapter he says that the only reason to be ethical is to advance your self-interest.
