HISTORY OF ETHICS

Historic changes have occurred in the

meaning and coverage area of ethics and,

more so, in the height or strictness of moralstandards. In early cultures, ethics actually

meant customs only, or customary behavior,

as in communal life, dress code, cults, or

war.

HISTORY OF ETHICS

The discussion of virtues in Aristotelian

Athens referred not only to our sphere of

good and bad, but also to courage,justice, temperance, and other qualifications

of character. Later, during the Middle Ages,

much of ethics was covered by religious or

church-issued commandments and rules.

HISTORY OF ETHICS

Moral matters were no longer customs or

aspects of character; instead, they became matters

of right or wrong. Beginning with the

Scholastic thinkers, ethics emerged as an

intellectual pursuit, a discipline of philosophy. In a

parallel part of society, the knights and nobility

retained or revived rules of honor. Theimportance of these rules continued through

World War II, especially for the nobility and the

military

HISTORY OF ETHICS

Their ethical values reflected upon the value of

a person in society. With the rise of the middle

class and, more so, with increasing industry and

commerce, ethics in business arose as a concern,

with the emphasis on trust and fairness.

(Interestingly, the Ten Commandments do not

address predatory business behavior). Since thelate 18th century, in a combination of

enlightenment and romanticism, humanistic

values became important and, to a certain extent,

they continue to dominate ethical thinking today

HISTORY OF ETHICS

Western democracy promotes freedom,

brotherhood, and equality - the ideals of the

French Revolution, the American Bill of Rights,

and the Civil Rights movement - in all their forms.

Democracy also brought questions of ethics in

government, placing the emphasis on integrity.

Modern intellectualism (rationality, scientificthinking, and liberal thought) brought new

movement to the interpretation and limits of

acceptable ethical behavior. Much of what was

unacceptable in the past is considered acceptable
