META-ETHICS


  • Berta Nieto Romero
Before the ethics topic was brought to us, we were used to listening to conferences talking about the space, maths, renewable energy... and because of this we had reach a certain point where every single student during this ''meetings'' began to think more analytically, but by this I mean there was no time we stopped to analysed if what the person giving the speech was wrong or right, we only wanted to know things like; And why..? Would there be a time where...? We were acting more like scientist that wanted to go straight for the answer than real students aiming for the repercussions of each topic. But all of this suddenly changed when the ETHICS topic appeared. Of course we all knew what ethics was about; according to the BBC newspaper; ''Ethics is concerned with what is good for individuals and society and is also described as moral philosophy.'' and all of the student were aware of this.

 But since when had we stop taking it into account when talking about scientific and global themes? Well, I 'm not quite sure when we had but the thing is that we had stopped. And this is afterall a terrible and awful thing, us, as humans since the beggining of times have separate facts and acts from and ethical point of view. And this is described as META-ETHICS.

There is a time in any circumstance where you have to decide if you want to be practical and act scientifically (this means going for the solution with more probabilities of success) or acting ethically (this means going for the solution that you feel is better and less people would suffer any damage). And this was what Doña Isabel López's conference was all about.
