Passages from public-domain books where Ethics (journal) is discussed.

Ethics deals with conduct in its entirety, with reference, that is, to what makes it conduct, its _end_, its real meaning. Ethics is the science of conduct, understanding by conduct man's activity in its whole reach.

If so it is a necessary implication that there exists an ideal code of conduct formulating the behavior of the completely adapted man in the completely evolved society.

The truth seems to be that here we get to a range of ethics which is far wider than what…

Ethics is traditionally a department of philosophy, and that is my reason for discussing it. I hardly think myself that it ought to be included in the domain of philosophy, but to prove this would take as long as to discuss the subject itself, and would be less interesting.
