I’m beginning to wonder if all of this chaos in here has more to do with semantics than with anything else.
I also intuit that Logic has to necessarily come before Ethics even though it might seem to be a moot issue since anyone who studied Ethics might necessarily have to have a logical mind to begin with or would that be wrong?
The field of ethics (or moral philosophy) involves systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong behavior. Philosophers today usually divide ethical theories into three general subject areas: metaethics, normative ethics, and applied ethics.
Back to Top. Logic (from the Greek “logos”, which has a variety of meanings including word, thought, idea, argument, account, reason or principle) is the study of reasoning, or the study of the principles and criteria of valid inference and demonstration. It attempts to distinguish good reasoning from bad reasoning.
How does one go about being able to study and grasp hold of certain concepts of ethical moral behavior and distinguish that from unethical moral behavior or any concept except by way of using one’s right reason, one’s logical functions, which include clear cognitive thinking and following all the facts made available and investigating them.
Then there is the work ethic of say self-discipline, hard work, stick-to-it-iveness, focus, et cetera that it takes to achieve one’s desires and goals.
I really think that most of the problem between you guys besides ego is a question of semantics.
