Modern philosophies argue that ethics - it is one of the dialectical method of understanding reality, a reflection of the manycomplex linkages and relationships between the "Homo sapiens", nature, civilization.As in ancient times, its fundamental question - what is good and evil, and how they relate to the life and goals of a specific person living in a certain state with certain laws.In this light, morals and ethics are intertwined.This unity makes it possible to identify the nature of moral values, to explain how they have appeared and evolved, and to predict what forms can take in the future.
