Is an ethics without God inferior to a religiously based ethics?
An ethics without God is not inherently inferior to a religiously based ethics. Ethics can be grounded in reason, empathy, and a concern for the well-being of others, regardless of religious beliefs. Many secular ethical frameworks, such as utilitarianism or humanism, provide strong moral guidance and principles for individuals to live by. Ultimately, the value of an ethical system lies in its ability to promote justice, compassion, and respect for all beings, rather than its religious or non-religious foundation.

Does Kant's deontological ethics contradict Aristotle's eudaemonistic ethics?
Kant's deontological ethics and Aristotle's eudaemonistic ethics have some fundamental differences, but they do not necessarily contradict each other. Kant's ethics focus on duty and the intention behind actions, while Aristotle's ethics emphasize achieving eudaimonia, or human flourishing, through virtuous actions. While Kant's emphasis on duty can sometimes conflict with Aristotle's emphasis on virtue, both ethical theories ultimately aim to guide individuals towards leading a good and moral life. Therefore, while they may approach ethics from different perspectives, they can be seen as complementary rather than contradictory.

Professional Ethics : A Trust-Based Approach
It is widely recognized that professionals such as doctors, nurses, engineers, and teachers have duties that go far beyond those of ordinary citizens, but there is much disagreement as to why they have such duties.In Professional Ethics: A Trust-Based Approach, Terrence Kelly argues that such duties come from the unique trust that professionals must invite, develop, and honor from those they serve.Without trust, professional practice would be significantly impoverished—both ethically and instrumentally— and the autonomy enjoyed by many professions would evaporate.Professionals therefore have good reasons to be “effectively trustworthy”— that is, to develop the virtues necessary to be responsive to the vulnerability of those they serve; and effectively communicate that responsiveness to others.Being effectively trustworthy requires a commitment by professionals as individual practitioners and as members of ethical communities committed to building a culture of trust.Such communities can, and should, design virtue-based professional education that promotes trustworthy character formation, and articulate an ethical vision of the trustworthy professional that has real credibility in the practical conditions of profession. Because of the importance of trust, professional communities also have good reasons to develop conduct standards, such as those regarding conflict of interest, that promote professional trustworthiness in both fact and appearance.

Ethics in Online AI-Based Systems : Risks and Opportunities in Current Technological Trends
Ethics in Online AI-Based Systems: Risks and Opportunities in Current Technological Trends creates a space to explore the ethical relevance that new technologies under development may have.Stimulating reflection and considerations with respect to the design, deployment, and use of technology helps readers guide current and future technological advancements from an ethically informed position to ensure that such advancements contribute towards solving current global and social challenges that we, as a society, have today.This will not only be useful for researchers and professional engineers, but also for educators, policy makers, and ethicists. Recent technological advancements have deeply transformed society and the way people interact with each other.Instantaneous communication platforms have allowed connections with other people, forming global communities and creating unprecedented opportunities in many sectors, making access to online resources more ubiquitous by reducing limitations imposed by geographical distance and temporal constrains.These technological developments bear ethically relevant consequences with their deployment, and legislations often lag behind such advancements. Because the appearance and deployment of these technologies happen much faster than legislative procedures, the way these technologies affect social interactions have profound ethical effects before any legislative regulation can be built in order to prevent and mitigate those effects.

The Ethics of Remote Warfare
Ethical approaches to war require that we don’t value only the lives of ‘our’ people, as Realism asserts; that we don’t enforce our sense of justice with weapons, as Militarism demands our ‘moral warriors’ do; that force is used only in self-defence, based on the principles of Just War Theory.However, can there be purely defensive or moral wars?This book offers unique insights into twenty-first century warfare through three approaches – Realism, Militarism, and Just war Theory – in the context of ‘precision’ weapons, celebrated for minimising risks to soldiers and civilians.The author questions whether the rapidly developing technology of lethal autonomous weapons is actually expanding an existing legal-ethical issue: the problem of civilian harm.Laws permits acts that cause incidental civilian harm; AI warfare puts the law’s accountability gap into sharper relief, highlighting the need for new accountability mechanisms that reflect a sense of legal and moral justice.

Is Nicomachean Ethics the same as Virtue Ethics?
Nicomachean Ethics is a specific work by Aristotle that is considered one of the foundational texts in virtue ethics. While Nicomachean Ethics is a key text within the broader framework of virtue ethics, virtue ethics itself is a broader ethical theory that encompasses various other works and perspectives beyond just Aristotle's. So, while Nicomachean Ethics is a significant part of virtue ethics, they are not exactly the same thing.

Responsibility ethics focuses on the moral obligations and duties that individuals and organizations have in the present moment, while future ethics considers the ethical implications of our actions on future generations and the long-term consequences of our choices.

Both are important aspects of ethical decision-making, but they address different time frames and perspectives.
