Wenn etwas wirklich neu ist, geschieht es oft, dass wir nicht wissen, was zu tun gut wäre, was schlecht oder böse. Ähnlich verhält es sich in tragischen Situationen. Beide Fälle führen leicht zum Nachdenken, dieses wiederum kann schließlich die Form moralphilosophischen Überlegens annehmen. Stellt man solche Überlegungen an, legt sich die Idee eines ethischen Systems fast von selbst nahe. Was aber könnte für ein solches System den Grundsatz liefern? - Hier greifen viele Philosophen auf sogenannte „Intuitionen“ zurück. - Warum das vielleicht keine so gute Idee ist, aber dennoch das Beste, was man tun kann, soll in diesem Buch untersucht werden. Dabei kommen eine Reihe von Themen zur Sprache, wie etwa das Gewissen oder die Rolle moderner wissenschaftlicher Methoden für die Moralphilosophie.

This work systematically compiles eleven outstanding research papers that were presented at the 3rd International Congress on Ethics in Cuenca, University City, Ecuador in November 2022. The Catholic University of Cuenca, beyond hosting the event, is committed to ethics in a holistic way. As such, to deliver this work for the benefit of the community is to expand the debate on it in areas of collective relevance such as face-to-face and online university education, pre-professional practices, professional qualifications, the equity of women workers, nature as a subject of rights, professional conduct, Ethics in Care Committees, the trend, style, and praxis of architectural design, and particularly the role of the university in the construction of an ethical culture from the perspective of students. Thus, this book invites those attending the event and readers to empower themselves with the work in order to strengthen ethics in all its dimensions and in everyday practice.

Programs of ethical relativism notoriously face two great difficulties: 1) how can they account for our need to make ethical judgements about other groups and individuals with whom we come into conflict? and 2) how can they allow for us to criticize the group, set of desires, etc. to which our ethical norms are said to be relative? Integrity and Moral Relativism develops a moderate version of cultural relativism that can answer these questions. After examining and defending the notion of a "world-picture," and of incommensurable differences across world-pictures, the book brings its theoretical framework together with the history of anthropology to argue that a culture is indeed the appropriate expression of a world picture. It then draws on literary, philosophical and historical resources to illustrate the way in which Western society, specifically, contains traditions distinguishing legitimate cross-cultural judgment, and legitimate from illegitimate cultural self-criticism. As long as there is a language for these possibilities, an individual can see ethics as culturally based without compromising his or her integrity.
