Ethics or moral philosophy is a branch of philosophy that involves systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong conduct. The term ethics derives from Ancient Greek ethikos, from ethos, meaning habit, custom. The branch of philosophy axiology comprises the sub branches of ethics and aesthetics, each concerned with values. Ethics seeks to resolve questions of human morality by defining concepts such as good and evil, right and wrong, virtue and vice, justice and crime. As a field of intellectual enquiry, moral philosophy also is related to the fields of moral psychology, descriptive ethics, and value theory. Three major areas of study within ethics recognized today are 1Meta ethics, concerning the theoretical meaning and reference of moral propositions, and how their truth values if any can be determined. Normative ethics, concerning the practical means of determining a moral course of action. Applied ethics, concerning what a person is obligated or permitted to do in a specific situation or a particular domain of action1Defining ethicseditRushworth Kidder states that standard definitions of ethics have typically included such phrases as the science of the ideal human character or the science of moral duty. Richard William Paul and Linda Elder define ethics as a set of concepts and principles that guide us in determining what behavior helps or harms sentient creatures. The Cambridge Dictionary of Philosophy states that the word ethics is commonly used interchangeably with morality . Paul and Elder state that most people confuse ethics with behaving in accordance with social conventions, religious beliefs and the law and dont treat ethics as a stand alone concept. The word ethics in English refers to several things. It can refer to philosophical ethics or moral philosophya project that attempts to use reason to answer various kinds of ethical questions. As the English philosopher Bernard Williams writes, attempting to explain moral philosophy What makes an inquiry a philosophical one is reflective generality and a style of argument that claims to be rationally persuasive. And Williams describes the content of this area of inquiry as addressing the very broad question, how one should live8 Ethics can also refer to a common human ability to think about ethical problems that is not particular to philosophy.

As bioethicist Larry Churchill has written Ethics, understood as the capacity to think critically about moral values and direct our actions in terms of such values, is a generic human capacity. Ethics can also be used to describe a particular persons own idiosyncratic principles or habits. For example Joe has strange ethics. The English word ethics is derived from an Ancient Greek word thikos, which means relating to ones character. The Ancient Greek adjective thikos is itself derived from another Greek word, the noun thos meaning character, disposition. Meta ethicseditMeta ethics asks how we understand, know about, and what we mean when we talk about what is right and what is wrong.

A meta ethical question is abstract and relates to a wide range of more specific practical questions. For example, Is it ever possible to have secure knowledge of what is right and wrong would be a meta ethical question. Meta ethics has always accompanied philosophical ethics. For example, Aristotle implies that less precise knowledge is possible in ethics than in other spheres of inquiry, and he regards ethical knowledge as depending upon habit and acculturation in a way that makes it distinctive from other kinds of knowledge. Meta ethics is also important in G. E. Moores Principia Ethica from 1. In it he first wrote about what he called the naturalistic fallacy. Moore was seen to reject naturalism in ethics, in his Open Question Argument. This made thinkers look again at second order questions about ethics. Earlier, the Scottish philosopher. David Hume had put forward a similar view on the difference between facts and values. Studies of how we know in ethics divide into cognitivism and non cognitivism this is similar to the contrast between descriptivists and non descriptivists. Non cognitivism is the claim that when we judge something as right or wrong, this is neither true nor false. We may, for example, be only expressing our emotional feelings about these things. Cognitivism can then be seen as the claim that when we talk about right and wrong, we are talking about matters of fact. Microsoft Office Professional 2007 Keygen.(New).Rar. The ontology of ethics is about value bearing things or properties, i. Non descriptivists and non cognitivists believe that ethics does not need a specific ontology since ethical propositions do not refer. This is known as an anti realist position. Realists, on the other hand, must explain what kind of entities, properties or states are relevant for ethics, how they have value, and why they guide and motivate our actions. Normative ethicseditNormative ethics is the study of ethical action. It is the branch of ethics that investigates the set of questions that arise when considering how one ought to act, morally speaking. Normative ethics is distinct from meta ethics because it examines standards for the rightness and wrongness of actions, while meta ethics studies the meaning of moral language and the metaphysics of moral facts. Normative ethics is also distinct from descriptive ethics, as the latter is an empirical investigation of peoples moral beliefs. To put it another way, descriptive ethics would be concerned with determining what proportion of people believe that killing is always wrong, while normative ethics is concerned with whether it is correct to hold such a belief. Hence, normative ethics is sometimes called prescriptive, rather than descriptive. However, on certain versions of the meta ethical view called moral realism, moral facts are both descriptive and prescriptive at the same time. Traditionally, normative ethics also known as moral theory was the study of what makes actions right and wrong. These theories offered an overarching moral principle one could appeal to in resolving difficult moral decisions. At the turn of the 2. During the middle of the century, the study of normative ethics declined as meta ethics grew in prominence. This focus on meta ethics was in part caused by an intense linguistic focus in analytic philosophy and by the popularity of logical positivism. In 1. 97. 1 John Rawls published A Theory of Justice, noteworthy in its pursuit of moral arguments and eschewing of meta ethics. Virtue ethicseditVirtue ethics describes the character of a moral agent as a driving force for ethical behavior, and is used to describe the ethics of Socrates, Aristotle, and other early Greek philosophers. Socrates 4. 693. BC was one of the first Greek philosophers to encourage both scholars and the common citizen to turn their attention from the outside world to the condition of humankind. In this view, knowledge bearing on human life was placed highest, while all other knowledge was secondary. Self knowledge was considered necessary for success and inherently an essential good. Course Content 7. Ethics for Counselors. HISTORICAL CONTEXT OF COUNSELING ETHICSHISTORY OF COUNSELING IN THE UNITED STATESModern psychology began with the work of Sigmund Freud in the 1. Vienna. By the early and mid 2. Sigmund Freuds psychoanalytical theories were being challenged, most notably by American psychologist Carl Rogers. While Freud examined the effects of the unconscious mind upon patients, Rogers work focused on environmental factors, the patients experience in the world, and the person centered approach 5. It was during this same time period that advanced education in medicine and certification was becoming required for psychoanalysts, because in the United States, analysis of the mind was viewed as a medical endeavor 5. Frank Parsons, often called the father of vocational guidance, had established the new field of career counseling between the years 1. Rogers borrowed Parsons label, counselor, and extended it to individuals who were educated in and practiced behavioral health both outside of the field of medicine and toward different goals than medical psychoanalysis 5. This helped remove some of the prejudice against non medically trained professionals and shifted the emphasis away from treating clients purely as medical patients to helping individuals and groups realize their developmental goals. The relatively new field of counseling that stemmed from Parsons vocational guidance movement and Rogers work was of particular value during World War II, when the need for vocational training became acute, and after the war, when a large number of people were integrating back into a society that had become profoundly different 5. Some returned with psychological problems, and many were left with disabilities. Many more had come home to a country where they could not find jobs. Around this time, the American Psychological Association APA and the Veterans Administration VA both formed counseling psychology branches. The post war era was a defining period because the need for trained professionals was so great, and counselors were increasingly seen as critical human service providers in the fields of psychology and employment services. Guidance counseling, with a focus on educational and career advancement, was still seen as a somewhat separate profession. Today, each branch of counseling is considered a practical application of psychology because the focus on human development and wellness issues deals directly with strategies to enable personal and family growth, career development, and life enhancement 5. In addition, counselors advocate for patients and clients and connect them to services. Ethics have been discussed in various arenas since ancient. The ethics that most Western counselors are familiar with are derivatives of the. Greek philosophers such as Socrates, Plato, and most. Aristotle, in the 5th century B. C. E. Virtue ethics were thought to be a way to make. The word ethics. has evolved from the ancient Greek word ethikos, meaning. The ability to engage. The action will be viewed by others who can determine that the decision maker is. The community will. The virtues i. e., values of a particular society are based on what has been deemed important to that society for example, liberty and justice are among the most important American values. Printer Spooler File. It could be said that one who upholds these values with the sole intention of being virtuous is acting in a righteous way according to Aristotelian virtue ethics 5. In other words, virtues are values, and being virtuous is acting ethically. It must be acknowledged that not all societies have similar values and not all subgroups or individuals in a society have values similar to the mainstream. Therefore, codes of ethics must be developed to unify, guide, and protect individuals belonging to a group or institution and to protect the institution itself. A familiar historical code of ethics, the Hippocratic Oath, also comes from Greece during the same time period as Aristotles philosophies and embodies the values of ancient Greek ethics. A few of the oaths ethical principles, translated from the original text and listed here, relate to specific counseling ethical principles that will be discussed later in this course 5. I will use those dietary regimens which will benefit my patients according to my greatest ability and judgment, and I will do no harm or injustice to them. Ethical principles of beneficence and nonmaleficenceI will not use the knife, even upon those suffering from stones, but I will leave this to those who are trained in this craft. Ethical principle of competenceInto whatever homes I go, I will enter them for the benefit of the sick, avoiding any voluntary act of impropriety or corruption, including the seduction of women or men, whether they are free men or slaves. Ethical principle of maintaining appropriate relationshipsWhatever I see or hear in the lives of my patients, whether in connection with my professional practice or not, which ought not to be spoken of outside, I will keep secret, as considering all such things to be private. Ethical principles of confidentiality, trust, and privacyAlthough Hippocrates wrote this oath roughly 2,5. This is likely due to the fact that the Hippocratic Oath is based on principles that are universally applicable. Because Aristotelian virtue ethics can be adapted to fit any society or institution by reprioritizing the values to achieve positive end goals congruent with normal community values, many offshoots of virtue ethics exist. With the rise of Christianity in the Middle Ages came theological ethical systems derived from the Aristotelian notion of virtue ethics. St. Augustine, in the 4th century C. E., put forth the idea that a relationship with and love of God, in addition to acting from virtue, leads to happiness 5. In the 1. 3th century C. E., St. Thomas Aquinas developed another Christian system of ethics by simply adding the values of faith, hope, and charity to the established virtues of Aristotelian ethics 5. These two ethical systems, Aristotelian virtue ethics and Christian ethics, form the foundation of most ethical systems and codes used in modern Western society. It should be understood that other ethical systems have contributed to Western philosophies and have shaped modern ethics for example, one of the traditional Asian ethical systems, Confucian ethics, is very similar to Aristotelian ethics with an added emphasis on obligations to others 5. Prior to the 1. 96. Patients readily acquiesced health decisions to their physicians because they were regarded almost as family. What drove this resolve of patients to acquiesce their medical care and treatment decisions to their physicians David Rothman, as discussed in his book Strangers at the Bedside A History of How Law and Bioethics Transformed Medical Decision Making, believes physicians were given such latitude by their patients because they were well known and trusted by their patients and the community in which they practiced 5. There were no specialists. One physician took care of a patient and family for a lifetime. The frontier physician often knew the patient from birth to adulthood, made house calls, and was a family friend who knew best what the patient should do with a healthcare concern 5. Since the 1. 96. 0s, physicians have become strangers to their patients, largely due to three factors.
