Norm ethics

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As a standard ethics are ethical theories referred to stamp out the Sollenssätze based substantive standards and seek to establish. Simple examples are, for example, "You should save drowning people" or "You should not kill". Usually one demands further qualifications, for example "... unless you are excessively harmed yourself" and the like. Most typical of this are non- consequentialist deontological ethics .

In particular, virtue ethics and also happiness ethics or other weaker ethical forms of theory, such as so-called situation ethics, narrative ethics or model ethics, are to be viewed as the opposite of norm ethics . According to older conceptions, an ethics of being, which orients human action to ontological guidelines, can also stand in opposition to the norm-ethical ought ethics
