Question:
Ethics (Moral Philosophy or Axiology) is the branch of philosophy built upon Epistemology and Metaphysics which explores the question of what ought we to do. Ethics includes social and political philosophy as well as aesthetics (the study of beauty). In daily ethical decisions most often we use choices we have learned from family religious and cultural influences. In more complex situations when we encounter problems for which we have no experience it’s not so easy.
