| Summary: | Everything may be looked at from two different points of view; one, we may take things simply as they are, how they came into being and what their relationship is with other things. We may call this fact, a field most appropriate for natural sciences. Secondly, we may compare these things with some ideal which indicates what they ought to be. We may call this idealism, a field for normative or critical sciences. Whereas natural science deals with the description and explanation of things as they are, the normative science concerns itself with our judgments on those things. Ethics, naturally, belongs to the latter category because its subject-matter is human conduct and character not as natural facts with a history and causal connections with other facts but as possessing value in view of a standard or ideal. |
