About this blog

  • Thinking Ethics was a project launched in Geneva to foster the debate about ethics. A few friends, fed up with only reading about abuses in the media, decided to hold a forward-looking seminar on five subjects: ethics and performance, ethics and knowledge, ethics and consciousness, ethics and disobedience and ethics in real time. If moral has to do with right and wrong, then ethics is its application in society. We believe that people need to talk about the subject to determine the level of ethics they want. The book Thinking Ethics, a result of the seminar, is to start the discussion. This blog is a contribution to the conversation.

Ethics and atheism

An interesting article on the subject of atheism and ethics is on the bbc site (link). Summed up by the author, Hannu Kauppila, "The debate is not about what's right and what's wrong, but rather what actually exists out there in the universe".

Thank you very much for the link. I'm very happy to have contributed - even if indirectly and through an article that by virtue of its format is not as comprehensive as I wish it were - to Thinking Ethics.

With regards,
Hannu Kauppila

It's nonsense that atheists have no morals, no ethics. Those are mechanics of survival which many other animals practice as well, because such behaviour enhances chances of survival.They do not necessarily hace a supernatural quality.Statistics bear out the higher ethics of atheists.
