In the elections that have (here in Brazil) and in delayed, again we hear much talk about ethics. Some candidates have promised to make ethics in politics (something that does not see), still others promised to be ethical in their four-year term (but see only one practice a policy of paternalistic and unethical). There is less time we had in issuing a famous television advertisement where a sports commentators and actors., Spoke of ethics, but what is that such ethics? Do we and the politicians we elect and talk about it, know what is ethical?
When deciding how to act, we are often faced with uncertainty, confusion or conflict between our inclinations, desires or interests. Then came the philosophy of ethics such as to form human conduct.
For Socrates (Greek philosopher, 47 BC) know the key is to know about the man, hence the maxim "know thyself", this is a practical knowledge, know and act righteously. The Socratic ethics is rational. Find in it a conception of good and proper. In short, kindness, knowledge and happiness are closely interwoven. The man acts rightly when he knows well and, knowing him, can not fail to practice it. Furthermore, breathing well, he feels his own man, and following, is happy.
Aristotle (also Greek philosopher, 384-322 BC), part of the idea that what each of us wants is a happy life in the fullest sense of the term. What will give us this, he says, is the full development and exercise of our capacities in compatibility with life in society. The ethics of Aristotle, like Plato, his master, is your political philosophy, since for him the social community and politics are the necessary means of morality in the pursuit of happiness.
Walking a little extra in the history of philosophy, there is the philosopher Kant (German philosopher, 1724-1804), which for him, must act in such a way that you treat humanity in your person or in the person of another, always with a purpose and never merely as a means. Focus on the belief of Kant, that morality requires that we treat people always as ends and never merely as a means. When Kant stated that the value of human beings is above any price, had in mind not just a rhetorical effect, but an objective opinion about the place of humans in the order of things.
In short, ethics, according to the philosophical dictionary, is the theory or science of moral behavior of men in society. That is, the science of a particular form of human behavior.
Today, there is no point charge, then such thing as ethical politicians. We must start with ourselves, we are a little more ethical. Only then we will have a happiness policy - social. For besides being rational animals, we are (to live in society) political animals.
