| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Ethics took shape in two different ways. One, in ancient times, when humans in order to understand environment started asking questions and kept trying to answer them by arguments and conjecture. This took them to what we now know as the religious path. In those earlier times religion suggested how human society began. At that time laws governing human behaviour were made in the name of God. At that time the concept of morality also went in the name of God. Two, in recent times, that is, during the last few hundred years, development of science based knowledge in a vast variety of fields developed a scientific world view. This world view was not based on opinions based on limited knowledge. This was based on knowledge that was huge, was verifiable and was expanding. |
