Philosophy of Morality and Ethics

The concept of morality is always simple and straightforward.

Ethics is a branch of philosophy that examines scientific principles.

The term 'morality' is derived from the root word 'ethos'.

Normative ethics aims to question the foundations of ethical frameworks.

Metaethics involves developing and applying ethical principles or standards.

The concept of freedom is not relevant in understanding individual rights in Philippine society.

According to Jean-Paul Sartre, humans have absolute freedom in their choices and actions.

Freedom, from a moral standpoint, means being capable of making decisions without considering societal expectations and boundaries.

Deliberation is a uniquely human act that requires reflection and the full exercise of rational capacity.

Conduct, as defined by John L Mothershead Jr., encompasses human actions resulting from instinct rather than reflection.

Humans are free to make choices that are irrational and inhumane.

Making choices is a rare occurrence in human life, limited to significant decisions only.
