The change in what we consider ethical has evolved over human
history but the basic notion; that one should be honest and fair
with all of your own kind; that you not kill or mame them; that
you not cheat them and the expectation that they will behave in
the same way; is not changed. What has changed is the definition
of the group to which you extend these "rights and obligations".
Yes, this is how it looks to me.
Initilally it was just ones own tribe. But as societies have
grown larger and more complex these rights have been extended as
well. ...
Yes. Also, my sense is that this notion has implications concerning
where Ethics or Morality comes from. If so, what are they? (I don't
want to get into a discussion of whether the term should be ethics or
morality, but am more interested in the question posed.)
