Although the official website claims that this is not some philosophy, the concept is generally categorized under philosophy. So for reference and study purpose we term it as philosophy.

It can never be a religion because religion has many other requirements. Nowadays people are not sure about what to be called religion and what not.....

the founder of antonism, Anton propounded it as an independent theory which he claims to govern the character and emotions of humans. As of now, the philosophy has not attained much popularity because it has never been discussed much in international philosophical conferences or debates. Furthermore, the theory is independent and has not got enough exposure to people. But still the theory is in the progressing rate of popularity and people have started to hear about it from different sources. Some people are curious about its founder and to know more about the theory.

I would recommend everyone to visit www.antonism.com for more details since that is the only source of hearing from him.

Before you learn about Antonism, I would say that his theory will not make sense to more of us...and furthermore it will definitely question all your beliefs and even make u dismiss him as a crack..but nevertheless...philosophy remains philosophy no matter how stupid it sounds.

Plato says that virtue is wisdom, in whole or in part, so it canâ??t be something weâ??re born with. This statement came after a round of conversations with Meno, discussing exactly what the definition of virtue is.

The American Library Association has a code of ethics that was adopted in 1939, but later revised in 1981, which states that a librarian must protect intellectual property and must teach others to do the same. The librarian must not allow their personal beliefs to restrict access to information by users. A librarian must also strive to provide the best service by being knowledgeable about how library system works.

The word "will" in ethics refers to human free will, which is simply our ability to make decisions.

It's important to praise or blame someone only when that person has an alternative. If humans lacked the freedom to make decisions, praising or blaming them would make no sense. That would be like praising or blaming a cloud for raining!

Being responsible for the consequences of an act (action, decision) to do or to refrain from doing something depends upon the freedom of the actor (agent).

The Ethical Humanist Society of the Triangle is the new name for the North Carolina Society for Ethical Culture. We recently changed our name to recognize that there is now another Ethical Society group in Asheville and to more clearly assert our identity as a humanist group. We remain a member of the American Ethical Union, the national organization of the Ethical Culture Movement whose members use various names such as Ethical Humanist Society, Ethical Culture Society, or Ethical Society. Check out their website at www.aeu.org.

Axiological Ethics are ethics that motivate us to the end of action. For example Christianity pushes us to be good in life (motivation) so we can go to heaven and escape the damnation of Hell (The end). Or Hedonism which says that death is inevitable and we should make the most of life, for the afterlife in not important. Hedonism tries to get rid of the fear of death, by masking it with the pleasures of life. Bentham even made a formula how to measure if you are having more pain than pleasure (Hedonistic Calculus). So having rampant sex with everyone you can is okay along as it brings you pleasure, killing people is okay all long as it brings pleasure. Epicureanism is where Hedonism came from and Epicurus taught that we should make the most of life, not fear death and have pleasures, just like Hedonism, but make the pleasures, simple and modest pleasures. Like having close friends, gaining knowledge of topics that interest you, et cetera. Things like having too much sex was generally frowned apon because then that diminishes the value of it, and you may become dissatisfied with your partner. Not exactly the most pleasurable thing.

Deontological Ethics teaches that we act because we have to. For example, Zeno of Athens taught Stoic ethics. These ethics taught of Absolute Divine Order, or Logos. This dictates that we are cogs in the great machine of the Universe and we have no control of what we do. Our actions are pre-determined and whatever happens we have to accept it. There is no exceptions, nor deviations from the plan. There is no chaos, just complex systematic happenings. Another form of this is Presbyterian and how they believe in pre-destination.

The law is based on the state to compensate for loss and punish those that have done misdeeds. Ethics is the moral conduct that cultures agree upon. The convergence of law and ethics is when ethics and law coincide.

A good scientist is always appropriately sceptical. The scientific method works by finding some facet of reality that is puzzling, and 'inventing' a reasonable hypothesis that might explain it. The very next step is to devise experiments that will falsify the hypothesis - which is scepticism in practice. For example, it was once believed that a 10 pound weight would fall faster than a 5 pound weight. Experiments (referred to in 1544 by Benedetto Varchi) showed that this was not so. Eventually, Galileo showed that (disregarding external factors like wind resistance) bodies accelerate uniformly, regardless of weight. But even Galileo had to refine his ideas as he performed successive experiments. Now we talk about relativistic motion in a space-time continuum - and the universe probably has a few more surprises in store, as scientists keep their eyes open for yet more puzzling little details. The moment scientists stop being sceptical, they stop being scientists.
