I. Introduction
from the perspective of Philosophy. This is because Ethics is a part of moral principles,
Ethics and Philosophy Philosophy, etymologically came from two Greek words philos,
which means love and sophia, means wisdom. (Love of Wisdom) Hence, a philosopher
is one who loves wisdom. As a science, philosophy is interested with the meaning of
reality including our human experiences. It is a science that seeks to explain the ultimate
Ethics and Philosophy Ethics is philosophical science that studies the morality of human
act. As a science, Ethics is concerned with the analysis of the nature of the human
conduct from the point of view of morality. The two contradictory Principles 1. Man
believes that there are certain things that he should not do to anyone. 2. Man believes
e.g. God, immortality of the soul, origin of the universe. 2. Practical Philosophy – studies

establish truth Ethics From Greek word “ethos” means “Characteristic way of acting”
human act. Good is described as moral and bad as immoral. It means conformity to the
rules of right conduct. Ethics refer to the formal study of those standards and conduct. It
it is concerned with the systematic study of the norms of human conduct, as distinguished
from formal sciences such as Mathematics, chemistry physics etc.. Ethics is a normative
science because it involves a systematic search for moral principles and norms that are
warp their own ethical climate by pushing too much change from the top, too quickly and
too frequently. Leaders in the study reported having to implement staff reduction targets,
dispose of big businesses in major markets, and lead mergers and acquisitions. Some of
these activities included inherent conflicts of interest; others simply caused leaders to
have to act counter to their values (loyalty, for example). Many leaders felt poorly
prepared for the dilemmas they faced and felt compelled to take decisions they later
regretted.
IV. Conclusion
There is no Moral Truth There is no Universal Truth Deep down, we can find basic
Moral Truth There is One Universal Moral truth. There is no ultimate right or wrong. Moral
views differ from one person to another. This results to a subjective morality, in which
case, what is good for one person may be bad for another. Each Culture has its own set
of rules that are valid for that culture, and we have no right to interfere, just as they have
no right to interfere with our rules. This ethical paradigm maintains that there are moral
truths that exist but these truths are relative and dependent on cultures and beliefs of
people.
