Ethics is, thus, that branch of philosophy that studies morality and deals with the questions of right and wrong.

Ethics is referred to as a branch of learning that associates itself with good conduct. In the Greek tradition of philosophy, political science was formulated after ethics. Perhaps, it is for this reason that Plato, the ancient Greek philosopher, considered it crucial to reach a theory of justice.įinding out the principles of justice is the main concern in Plato's Republic, to the extent that it is also subtitled as ‘Concerning Justice’.

Justice has been the most critical part of a person's morality since time immemorial. The question of justice has been central to every society, and in every age, it surrounds itself with debate.
