    Study Notes

    The Moral Aspect of Human Existence

    • Ethics involves determining the foundations of values critical to human life.
    • Value judgments extend beyond ethics and can include aesthetic, technical, and moral valuations.

    Value Judgments Beyond the Scope of Ethics

    • Aesthetic Valuations: Concern perceptions of beauty and taste, affecting choices like clothing, but do not equate to moral values.
    • Technical Valuations: Relate to appropriate methods or techniques for performing tasks, not necessarily tied to ethical implications.
    • Moral Valuations: Concern human actions that significantly impact well-being, encompassing issues like war, poverty, and human rights.

    Approaches in Ethics

    • Normative Ethics: Focus on formulating principles and standards to guide human conduct. It includes:

      • General Normative Ethics: Explores fundamental moral principles and ethical theories like utilitarianism, deontology, and virtue ethics.
      • Applied Ethics: Utilizes principles from general normative ethics to address specific moral issues in fields such as medicine and nursing.
    • Non-Normative Ethics: Describes and analyzes actions and practices without moral judgment. It divides into:

      • Descriptive Ethics: Examines and reports on moral behaviors and beliefs, such as Kohlberg’s stages of moral development.
      • Metaethics: Analyzes ethical language and moral reasoning, questioning concepts like 'good', 'bad', or 'ought'.

    Cultural Context of Ethical Judgments

    • Clothing choices can reflect cultural values; for instance, strict dress codes enforced in Afghanistan under Taliban rule carry severe penalties but stem from cultural and religious beliefs rather than universal ethical standards.
