Introduction to Ethics

Within the socialization process of humanity, actions, behaviors, attitudes and thoughts that are both a founding element and a result of this process; Despite the differences in historical periods and socio-cultural geographies, it points to generally accepted moral values, norms and principles. In today's world, where economics and technology determine everything and are indexed to rationalization in one direction only to increase profit, it is a critical perspective that reflects the destructive effects and consequences of benefit calculation. We need a mirror and to remember that there are also qualitative values such as freedom, equality, justice and tolerance. Ethics, which can be understood as a science, a philosophical discipline or a collection of teachings, tells us that there are moral values, principles and norms that are thought to be valid on a universal scale, systematizes them as knowledge and puts them in front of people, and based on this, moral actions and behaviors, attitudes and norms are determined. It gives hope that preferences will be derived. The text in your hand contains moral teachings and thoughts distilled from the history of ethics; Without submitting to the artificial complementarity of a chronological analysis, it evaluates in a synchronic analysis both its contents, its aims and objectives, and the human understanding of freedom and will, understood as the integrity (or fragmentation) of a biological nature-being and a social mind-being. In this analysis, ethics, as a science and philosophical discipline, is discussed with its relationship with other scientific and philosophical disciplines, and in the final analysis, such an analysis inevitably turns into a guide to morality. Since this inevitable transformation necessitates the comparison of the relationship between ethics and other applied sciences, it brings an ethical perspective to areas where morality should be especially taken into consideration, such as education, law, environment and women's rights. Pieper's ethical review, beyond being an "introduction" guide to ethics texts, serves as a moral guide, especially in today's Turkey.
