What is the role of Ethics for a human
person?
Ethics play an important
role in bringing the human
person back to his nature
and eventually attain his
dream of a good life.
Ethics = Philosophy
Thomistic-Aristotelian
- philosophy is defined as a science
of the ultimate reasons, causes, and
principles of being as acquired by the
aid of the human intellect alone.
Existentialist (Karl Jasper)
- describes philosophy as the search
for the meaning of life.
Ethics Etymology
Ethos - Greek word meaning “a way of life”
Mos (mores) – Latin word meaning “custom”= morality and morals
Ethics is the study of human custom.
-that have ethical import- this refers to actions that
are knowingly, freely, and voluntarily done by the
doer.
Ethics in general
It is the philosophical study that deals with the
rightness and wrongness of the human act. It
inquires into the ultimate principles of human
conduct by the use of reason alone. It deals with
the oughtness of the human actions.
The importance of Ethics
1. It helps us to live or actualize our nature as a
rational being. Without moral perception, we
may become selfish and live our lives like
beasts or irrational animals.
The importance of Ethics
2. It enlightens us to live life with moral integrity,
which is the true measure of what we ought to
be. Indeed, to be human is to be ethical or moral.
The importance of Ethics
3. It directs us to do our tasks rightly as workers
or professionals. Without ethics, we may
produce good engineers, lawyers, doctors,
designers, professors and other professionals,
but they hardly become good people.
The importance of Ethics
4. It helps us to build a strong foundation for our
society. Morality as a standard of behavior is
necessary to make a good citizen. With good
citizens come a good society.
The importance of Ethics
5. It enables us to confront moral problems and
dilemmas and make a sound moral decision. It
provides us different moral frameworks as guide
for ethical decisions as we endeavor to live a
good life.
Moral Issues and Dilemmas
Before a moral problem, the agent (doer of the
human act) is confounded about the right
decision to make in a moral dilemma.
This becomes possible when there are
competing values of seemingly equal
importance and urgency.
An Affair: The Broken Marriage Vow
You found out that your best friend's husband is having an affair
with another woman. This happened with you saw the husband
with a young woman in a public place displaying intimacy and
affection. The wife who is your friend expressed how contented
and happy she is with her family and her husband during a
gathering.
If you divulge the issue it would result to quarrel between the
couple and might affect the children. It could also result to legal
actions. Your wife warned you not to meddle.
If you keep silent on the issue it would be equivalent to betrayal
of your friendship. Your friend deserves to know the issue. If
disclosing the issue is delayed it will result to a more serious
situation, thus is became a participator of adultery.
The Cure: A Life Saver
Your mother is in life threatening situation because of a rare
disease. You have a neighbor who is a pharmacist who
happened to invent the cure of the disease. He is offering the
medicine but ten times its production cost.
You exerted all effort to raise the amount in order to purchase
the medicine. Unfortunately, you only secured half of the
amount needed. You pleaded to your neighbor that you will pay
the first half, use the medicine for your mother and pay the
other half later. The pharmacist refused the offer no matter how
you begged.
You devised to steal the medicine, luckily, you were able to get
the medicine unscathed and unnoticed, and your mother is
healed.
