I just started reading a book on ethics in social work. I haven't ever concerned myself with ethics as a (philosophical) science before, but I can highly recommend it.
Let me tell you what I just learned as a novice.
Principles can be categorized in technical-normative principles and ethical-normative principles. Normative principles is just a distinction from descriptive statements that just describe, don't request and don't judge.
Technical-normative means that you should do something, because it helps you with your goals.
E.g. you should be nice, so people will be nice to you.Ethical-normative means you do it because it alighns with your values.
E.g. you treat everybody with empathy because everybody deserves to be treated that way.Now ethical-normative principles can be categorized in ethical and moral principles. Ethical here is the term for the super-category and the sub-category.
Ethical principles are about your individual values.
Moral principles are meant to be universal and unconditional.
The distinction here is not so easy anymore and sometimes is just about wording. E.g. when you are vegan "because you like animals" than that's an ethical decision. If you're vegan "because animals (should) have rights" its a moral one. Note that "universal & unconditional" doesn't mean that you can't have empathy, compassion and understanding for people who don't live by those values.Now why are these distinctions important?
Because if you take an ethical principle as moral or vice versa, that can be a real problem.An example for taking an ethical principle as moral would be "everybody should be in the Fediverse". Many of us joined the Fediverse for ethical reasons, but an ethical decision can also be not using social media at all. Also many of us would suffer if everybody, also unethical people joined the Fediverse.
An example for taking a moral principle as ethical would be "I as a moderator of a Fediverse instance don't suspend the nazi on that instance, who harasses people, because he should be confronted with people who think differently". No. The right to not be harassed is a human right, a moral principle, universal and unconditional.
I'm right now trying to find out for myself which of my own principles are technical, ethical or moral.
And in the future when arguing I'll try to distinguish between ethical and moral values and phrase my arguments accordingly.#ethics #morals #philosophy #TIL #JustReading #AmReading #ethical #moral

“… this is one of my most fulfilling writing jobs. It was like having my own witching hour, when I summoned magic and breathed new life into the pages. With every keystroke, I crafted characters that came to life, captivating readers and leaving them spellbound.”
— Hope Williams
Excerpt from
Four Seasons by Justine Castellon -
The writing style is beautiful and poetic—it feels like a song or a poem rather than a novel at times. There are moments when the language is so vivid and descriptive that you can almost picture yourself there in the marshlands with the main character Kya as she experiences her life-changing events.

Every book-lover
has a special
reading nook.Spent the weekend fixing this blog. Transferred and posted almost half of my book reviews. But it’s looking good. Received 3 emails from authors the past couple of weeks, looking forward to read their novels. Next weekend, I will posts the remaining books, museum and vineyard tours.
