What is the relationship of ethics with logic?

Answer 1

'Ethics' is another word for 'logic'

Ethics is logic around behavior

Like any logic an ethic has basics and restrictions

Mostly the basics are for a big part hidden and reason for ferocious discussions

The restriction are called 'moral laws'

The hidden basics can be very tricky, for instance presuming the existence of not material things and thus presuming a split between a not material mind/soul and material body.

One thing is sure: immaterial 'things' are belief and cannot be proven

Things get even more tricky if one presumes rules for mind/soul

Than anything is possible, and mostly results in calling some behavior good and opposite behavior bad and presuming that minds/souls steer behavior and can be 'good' or 'evil'

This is similar to believing in 'god' and 'devil'.

Answer 2

Ethics is the science that deals with how man act correctly, of course in accordance with morality. This science is somehow related to the science of Logic which defined as the science of correct thinking. The reason for this is that because when an individual think right means he/she will do the right. This is how Logic is related to Ethics. Logic tells us how to think right so that an individual can do the right and doing the right with the basis of morality is what we consider as Ethics.

Answer 3

What is the relation between ethics and sociology? Sociology is the study of society. It describes the ways that societies work.

Ethics is a branch of philosophy. The word "philosopher" means "lover of wisdom." So the purpose of philosophy is to live wisely (well, excellently). Ethics is that branch of philosophy that deals with the good for the individual.

Therefore, sociology and ethics are not really related. It's one task to describe how socieities function, and it's another task to theorize about that which is good for the individual.

Political philosophy, which is that branch of philosophy that deals with the good of organized groups of people, is also not directly related to sociology, although political philosophers might be wise to consider the findings of sociologists. ----
