It investigates [[Normativity|normative]] questions about what people ought to do or which behavior is morally right. It is usually divided into three major fields: [[normative ethics]], [[applied ethics]], and [[metaethics]]. [8] => [9] => Normative ethics discovers and [[Justification (epistemology)|justifies]] universal principles that govern how people should act in any situation. According to [[Consequentialism|consequentialists]], an act is right if it leads to the best consequences. [[Deontology|Deontologists]] hold that morality consists in fulfilling [[Duty|duties]], like telling the truth and keeping promises. [[Virtue theory|Virtue theorists]] see the manifestation of [[virtue]]s, like [[courage]] and [[compassion]], as the fundamental principle of morality. Applied ethics examines concrete ethical problems in real-life situations, for example, by exploring the moral implications of the universal principles discovered in normative ethics within a specific domain. [[Bioethics]] studies moral issues associated with [[Life|living organisms]] including humans, animals, and plants. [[Business ethics]] investigates how ethical principles apply to corporations, while [[professional ethics]] focuses on what is morally required of members of different [[profession]]s. Metaethics is a [[metatheory]] that examines the underlying assumptions and concepts of ethics. It asks whether moral facts have [[Subjectivity and objectivity (philosophy)|mind-independent]] existence, whether moral statements can be true, how it is possible to acquire moral knowledge, and how moral judgments motivate people. [10] => [11] => Ethics is closely connected to [[value theory]], which studies what [[Value (ethics and social sciences)|value]] is and what types of value there are. [[Moral psychology]] is a related empirical field and investigates psychological processes involved in morality, such as [[moral reasoning]] and the formation of [[moral character]]. [[Descriptive ethics]] provides [[value-neutral]] descriptions of the dominant moral codes and beliefs in different societies and considers their historical dimension. [12] => [13] => The [[history of ethics]] started in the [[ancient period]] with the development of ethical principles and theories in [[ancient Egypt]], [[Ancient India|India]], [[Ancient China|China]], and [[Ancient Greece|Greece]]. This period saw the emergence of ethical teachings associated with [[Hinduism]], [[Buddhism]], [[Confucianism]], [[Daoism]], and contributions of philosophers like [[Socrates]] and [[Aristotle]]. During the [[medieval period]], ethical thought was strongly influenced by religious teachings. In the [[modern period]], this focus shifted to a more [[Secular ethics|secular approach]] concerned with moral experience, [[practical reason]], and the consequences of actions. An influential development in the 20th century was the emergence of metaethics.

It examines what [[Moral obligation|obligations]] people have, what behavior is right and wrong, and how to lead a [[good]] life.

According to one view, morality is restricted to the question of what moral obligations people have while ethics is a wider term that takes additional considerations into account, such as what is good or how to lead a meaningful life. Another difference is that codes of conduct pertaining to specific areas, such as the business and environment, are usually termed "ethics" rather than morality, as in [[business ethics]] and [[environmental ethics]].{{multiref | {{harvnb|Athanassoulis|2012|pp=22–27}} | {{harvnb|Downie|2005|p=271}} | {{harvnb|Blum|2006}} }} [23] => [24] => As a philosophical discipline, ethics is usually divided into [[normative ethics]], [[applied ethics]], and [[metaethics]]. Normative ethics tries to find and justify universal principles of moral conduct. Applied ethics examines the consequences of those principles in specific domains of practical life.

This means that if an act has [[Intrinsic value (ethics)|intrinsic value]] and disvalue, it is not included as a relevant factor.

A related approach is to characterize consequentialism not in terms of consequences but in terms of outcomes with outcome being defined as the act together with its consequences.{{multiref | {{harvnb|Hooker|2005|pp=162–164}} | {{harvnb|Zimmerman|2015|p=17}} }} [46] => [47] => Most forms of consequentialism are agent-neutral. This means that the value of consequences is assessed from a neutral perspective, i.e., acts should have consequences that are good in general and not just good for the agent.

Deontology's Foil: Consequentialism}} }} An alternative approach is to hold that there are many different sources of value. According to this view, all sources of value contribute to one overall value. Traditionally, consequentialists were only concerned with the sum total of value or the aggregate good. A more recently developed view is that the distribution of value also matters. It states, for example, that an equal distribution of goods is better than an unequal distribution even if the aggregate good is the same.{{multiref | {{harvnb|Hooker|2005|pp=162–164}} | {{harvnb|Cummiskey|1996|pp=[https://books.google.com/books?id=ZYPmCwAAQBAJ&pg=PA157 157–158]}} }} [53] => [54] => There are various disagreements about what consequences should be assessed. An important distinction is between act and rule consequentialism. According to act consequentialism, the consequences of an act determine the moral value of this act. This means that there is a direct relation between the consequences of an act and its moral value. Rule consequentialism, by contrast, holds that an act is right if it follows a certain set of rules. Rule consequentialism uses considerations of consequences to determine which rules should be followed: people should follow the rules that have the best consequences in a community that accepts them. This implies that the relation between an act and its consequences is indirect. For example, if a prohibition to lie is part of the best rules then, according to rule consequentialism, a person should not lie even in a particular case where lying would result in the best possible consequences.{{multiref | {{harvnb|Sinnott-Armstrong|2023|loc=5.

Deontology's Foil: Consequentialism}} }} [55] => [56] => Another disagreement on the level of consequences is between actual and expected consequentialism. According to the traditional view, only the actual consequences of an act affect its moral value. One difficulty of this view is that many consequences cannot be known in advance. This means that in some cases, even well-planned and intentioned acts are morally wrong if they inadvertently lead to negative outcomes. An alternative perspective states that what matters are not the actual consequences but the expected consequences. This view takes into account that when deciding what to do, people have to rely on their very limited knowledge of the total consequences of their actions. According to this view, a course of action has positive moral value despite leading to an overall negative outcome if it had the highest [[expected value]], for example, because the negative outcome could not be anticipated or was very unlikely.{{multiref | {{harvnb|Hooker|2005|pp=162–164}} | {{harvnb|Sinnott-Armstrong|2023|loc=§ 1.

According to maximizing consequentialism, only the best possible act is morally permitted. This means that acts with positive consequences are wrong if there are alternatives with even better consequences. One criticism of maximizing consequentialism is that it demands too much by requiring that people do significantly more than they are socially expected to. For example, if the best action for someone with a good salary would be to donate 70% of their income to charity, it would be morally wrong for them to only donate 65%. Satisficing consequentialism, by contrast, only requires that an act is "good enough" even if it is not the best possible alternative. According to this view, it is possible to do more than one is morally required to do, a state known as [[supererogation]].{{multiref | {{harvnb|Hooker|2005|p=164}} | {{harvnb|Slote|2005|pp=938–939}} | {{harvnb|Alexander|Moore|2021|loc=§ 1.

In its classical form, it is an act consequentialism that sees [[happiness]] as the only source of intrinsic value. This means that an act is morally right if it produces "the greatest good for the greatest number" by increasing happiness and reducing suffering. Utilitarians do not deny that other things also have value, like health, friendship, and knowledge. However, they deny that these things have intrinsic value. Instead, they hold that they have extrinsic value because they affect happiness and suffering. In this regard, they are desirable as a means but, unlike happiness, not desirable as an end.{{multiref | {{harvnb|Slote|2005|pp=936, 938}} | {{harvnb|Sinnott-Armstrong|2023|loc=§ 1.

According to this view, a pleasurable experience has a high value if it has a high intensity and lasts for a long time. Some critics of Bentham's utilitarianism argued that it is a "philosophy of swine" whose focus on the intensity of pleasure promotes an immoral lifestyle centered around indulgence in sensory pleasures. Mill responded to this criticism by distinguishing between higher and lower pleasures. He stated that higher pleasures, like the intellectual pleasure of reading a book, are more valuable than lower pleasures, like the sensory pleasure of food and drink, even if their intensity and duration are the same.{{multiref | {{harvnb|Slote|2005|pp=936, 938}} | {{harvnb|Morales|2005|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=wYWGIpa7Qr4C&pg=PA141 141]}} | {{harvnb|Kivy|2011|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=-c7ThZc5Rv0C&pg=PA238 238]}} }} Today, there are many variations of utilitarianism, including the difference between [[Act utilitarianism|act]] and [[rule utilitarianism]] and between maximizing and satisficing utilitarianism.{{multiref | {{harvnb|Slote|2005|p=938}} | {{harvnb|Hooker|2014|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=z3zBAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA281 281]}} }} [77] => [78] => === Deontology === [79] => {{main|Deontology}} [80] => Deontology assesses the moral rightness of actions based on a set of [[Norm (philosophy)|norms]] or principles.

They are often interested in the motives and intentions for which people act and emphasize the importance of doing something for the right reasons. They are often agent-relative, meaning that the reasons for which people should act depend on personal circumstances. For example, a parent has a special obligation to their child while a stranger does not have this kind of obligation toward a child they do not know. Patient-centered theories, by contrast, emphasize the rights of the people affected by the action.

Kant uses the term [[categorical imperative]] for these principles and holds that they are non-empirical and universal laws that have their source in the structure of [[practical reason]] and apply to all [[Rationality|rational]] agents.

One emphasizes the [[Universalizability|universal nature]] of reason and states that people should only follow maxims that could become universal laws applicable to everyone.
