Morality

Morality comprises principles and judgments about right and wrong conduct, including norms used to evaluate actions, intentions, and character.

Moral judgment: An assessment that an action, intention, person, or practice is morally right or wrong. Moral judgments are the evaluations morality makes about conduct and character.
Moral reasoning: The process of using reasons and standards to reach conclusions about what is morally right or wrong. It describes how general moral commitments bear on particular cases.
Ethics: The systematic study and evaluation of principles governing right and wrong conduct. Ethics often names the reflective study of morality rather than the norms themselves.
Normative ethics: The branch of ethics that develops standards for right action and good character. It organizes systematic theories about the standards morality should endorse.
Moral norm: A standard prescribing or forbidding conduct on moral grounds. Moral norms express the standards that guide and evaluate behavior.
Moral intuition: A moral judgment that arises rapidly and without conscious inference. Intuitions often supply immediate verdicts that later reasoning supports or revises.
Law: A system of publicly recognized rules enforced by institutions of governance. Legal requirements and moral requirements can overlap, diverge, or conflict.
Consequentialism: The family of moral theories that evaluates actions by their consequences. It treats outcomes as the decisive basis for moral rightness.
Moral value: A quality regarded as morally desirable, such as fairness, courage, or compassion. Moral values identify qualities that moral standards seek to protect or cultivate.
Moral dilemma: A situation in which competing moral requirements appear to demand incompatible actions. Dilemmas expose conflicts between standards that ordinary cases leave compatible.
