Abstrakt

Ethics or moral philosophy, a major discipline in philosophy, is in a deep crisis. It has withdrawn from its central task, to formulate guidelines or norms for our actions and behavior. Aristotle spoke of eudaimonia and areté, a fulfillment of our gifts, our given capacities. The crisis arrived late, in the twentieth century, and it applies first of all to Europe and the United States as well as philosophers in Africa and Latin-America who are educated in the West. We are operating in the backyard as it were, analyzing various types of ethics, f. inst. deontological ethics or teleological ethics. Meta-ethic also belongs to this group. It deals with the presupposition and the logic of language of morals (Hare) or when they speak about "what we are going to do". This is part of the ethics. Ethics should guarantee the acknowledgement and respect of everyone, and at the same time strengthen the job expediency.
