ethics is the study of what is
Ethics or moral philosophy is the branch of philosophy that involves systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong conduct. The term ethics derives from the Ancient Greek word á¼ Î¸Î¹ÎºÏÏ ethikos, which is derived from the word á¼¦Î¸Î¿Ï ethos (habit, âcustomâ).The branch of philosophy axiology comprises the sub-branches of Ethics and aesthetics, each concerned with concepts of value.ost-structuralism and postmodernism argue that ethics must study the complex and relational conditions of actions. A simple alignment of ideas of right and particular acts is not possible. There will always be an ethical remainder that cannot be taken into account or often even recognized.
