Moral philosophy. The study of ethics constitutes a rescue of the very old academic tradition of economy
which goes back at least to Aristotle that, justly affirmed that politics (including economics) legislates as to
what we are to do and what we are to abstain from, and that the end of this science must include those of
the others, so that this end must be good for man. In this order of ideas, the ethics has two central
issues, namely: First, the question about human motivations and behaviors: “How should one live?” and;
Second, the complex judgment of social achievement (the god for man, and the god for nature).
The ethics, help us to overcome the next main difficulties of moral values and morality, namely: a) there
is not a definitive and perfect set of moral values and an absolute and true guidance of morality; b) moral
values and morality are circumscribed to cultural traditions and, moreover, they are dependent of the
status quo (interest and power) of persons; c) there is not an universal agreement about the best moral
values and about the better guidance of morality. Learn more in: Turbulent Peace, Power, and Ethics
