ETHICS IN A NUTSHELL. Ethics: A branch of philosophy that comes from the Greek word ethos (ÎµÎ¸Î¿Ï ) meaning habit or custom. In common English usage, it refers to a code or set of principles by which people live righteously. Ethics are the principles that regulate a just society and prescribe how one ought to behave.
Set theory is subdivided into three main areas. Naive set theory is the original set theory developed by mathematicians at the end of the 19th century. Axiomatic set theory is a rigorous axiomatic theory developed in response to the discovery of serious flaws (such as Russell's paradox) in naive set theory.
