The first doctrines of ethics are more than one thousand years old, because the ancient Greeks began to seriously deal with it. Representatives of the sophistic trend in philosophy as early as the 5th century BC put forward the main ethical postulates, establishing that their laws are fundamentally different from natural ones. A huge contribution to the development of ethical philosophy was made by Socrates, Plato, Aristotle.
On the history of the question of the emergence of ethics as a science
According to the generally accepted interpretation, from a philosophical point of view, ethics is the same as morality and morality. This is a set of moral and ethical norms that determine the behavior of people in a particular social group, class, state, socio-historical system, society as a whole. Their origins rest in deep antiquity, the tribal system, when in order to survive, people needed to stick together, coexist side by side, fight enemies, defend themselves, build housing, get food.
Because initially ethics is “common housing”, “rules of living together”, if translatedverbatim. Such rules were needed to regulate relations within the clan, tribe - so its representatives rallied and jointly solved the necessary tasks. Hence, collectivism, overcoming aggressiveness and selfishness were considered as the main parameters and criteria of ethical norms. Subsequently, with the ascent of human society to higher levels of development, this doctrine was enriched with such categories and concepts as conscience, friendship, the meaning of life and existence, etc. Modern philosophical teachings argue that ethics is one of the dialectical methods of cognizing reality, a reflection of numerous complex connections and relationships between "reasonable people", nature, civilization. As in antiquity, its fundamental question is what is good and evil, and how do they relate to the life and goals of a particular person living in a certain state with certain laws. In this light, morality and ethics are intertwined. This unity makes it possible to reveal the nature of moral values, explain how they appeared and developed, and predict what forms they may take in the future.
Ethics and Pedagogy
One of the sections of professional ethics is pedagogical ethics. It arose as one of the directions in general fundamental science in connection with the consideration of pedagogy itself as a type of specific activity. The teacher not only shares knowledge from a particular scientific field. He is also a teacher. Each lesson of his is also the teaching of mor altruths, an explanation of various life and everyday situations, this is both your own example of behavior, and the ability to establish relationships with students, to resolve various kinds of conflicts. The basic rules of ethics are associated with pedagogical tact. It is defined as a sense of a harmonious relationship between the actions and behavior of the teacher in relation to students, parents, and colleagues. One of the most striking manifestations of pedagogical tact is the inner culture of the teacher, which is also called moral culture.
Thus, ethics is the most important component of our social and spiritual life.
