Ethics, Acts of Correct Living
Ethics and the Filipino
MILA C. ANGELES –Reporter
Dr.FLORABEL F. SANTOS
The word Ethics is derived from the Greek word
Ethos which means “Characteristic way of
Acting” ,habit or Custom . The Latin equivalent is
mor ,mores,from which come the word moral and
Morality. Ethics studies the characteristic behavior
of man as endowed with reason and free will.
Ethics, also called moral philosophy, the discipline
concerned with what is morally good and bad
and morally right and wrong. The term is also
applied to any system or theory of moral values or
principles.
Ethics deals with such questions at all levels. Its
subject consists of the fundamental issues of
practical decision making, and its major concerns
include the nature of ultimate value and the
standards by which human actions can be judged
right or wrong.
The study of Ethics started with the Greek
Philosophers notably Plato , Socrates, and
Aristotle is regarded as the Father of Moral
Philosophy .However it is Aristotle who greatly
influenced ethical thinking with three important
treatises- The Nichomachean Ethics The
Eudemian Ethics and the Magna Moralia (Great
Ethics).
In his Nicomachean Ethics, the Greek philosopher
Aristotle stated that the contemplative life consists of
the soul’s participation in the eternal through a union
between the soul’s rational faculty and the nous that
imparts intelligibility to the cosmos. Thus, courage,
for example, is the mean between two extremes:
one can have a deficiency of it, which is
cowardice, or one can have an excess of it, which
is foolishness.
In The Eudemian Ethics, Aristotle explores the
factors that make life worth living. He considers
the role of happiness, and what happiness
consists of, and he analyzes various aspects that
contribute to it: human agency, the relation
between action and virtue, and the concept of
virtue itself.
Magna Moralia, the discussion focuses on
the themes of good, happiness, virtue,
action, justice, continence and incontinence,
pleasure, good fortune, friendship, and
gentlemanliness. According to the author, the
study of moral character is part of the craft of
politics.
Ethics is the Science of the Morality of Human
Act..Human acts are actions done intentionally
and freely . Human acts are differentiated from
acts of man which are instinctive such as
psychological and physiological movements like
breathing feeling happy or in love. It does not
study the acts of man in themselves but as factors
affecting man’s judgement and violation.
Ethics is the study of man as moral being ,one who is
rationally able to distinguish between right and wrong . It
examines how man is accountable for his actions and
consequences . It proposes how man ought to live his
life meaningfully. It is concerned with morality the quality
which makes us as good or evil correct or wrong. .It
examines and explains the rational basis why actions
are moral or immoral. In other Ethics is concerned with
the norms of human behavior.
Ethics is an Act of Correct living because it
teaches how we may put order and harmony in
our lives. Thus Ethics is a practical science and
differs from one that is purely speculative . Ethics
is beneficial only when its truths are put into
practice as rules of conduct . People must live
according to the act of Morality which is not only
necessary to a person but also to society
Filipinos believe in moral integrity as essential to
life. They also believe in just society.Filipino virtue
ethics is based on two foundational concepts in
Filipino culture. The first is loób, which can easily
be misunderstood when literally translated into
English as ‘inside’ but which is better translated
as ‘relational will’, and the second is kapwa, which
is literally translated as ‘other person’ but is better
understood as ‘together with the person’.
These serve as pillars for a special collection of
virtues (kagandahang-loób, utang-na-loób,
pakikiramdam, hiya, lakas-ng-loób/bahala na) which
are not individualistic virtues in the same way as most
of the cardinal virtues of the Western tradition (i.e.
prudence, justice, temperance and fortitude) but are
all directed towards the preservation and
strengthening of human relationships.
A man without ETHICS is a
wild BEAST loosed upon this
world..
