Baha'i Ethics in Light of Scripture

From Bahaikipedia

Jump to: navigation, search

There is a fundamental discrepancy between man as he is and man as he could be, if only he recognized his true being and purpose. Ethics is the discipline by which man can understand how he can pass from the first condition to the second.

Ethics deals with the image of man: his freedom, moral responsibility and dignity, asking, What is human nature? What is the purpose of life? What is the highest good of human conduct and what are its sanctions?

Ethics also seeks the origin, derivation and vindication of moral values, asking, What is the ultimate standard of right or wrong? Are there universally recognized moral principles of good and evil, right and wrong? Where do they come from, how are they recognized and why should they be binding on me?
