ABSTRACT
The treatment of ethical concepts in 08 is continuous with that of the Syllabus although there are changes. For the most part, morality is seen conceptually in terms of the two fundamental notions of good and right alone. In any case, it is rooted in an historical outlook and in the derivation of ethical concepts from situations and problems and structures in human social experience. Whatever the similarities of the analysis of duty in 08 and 32 it is clear that in 08 it lacks independence as a basic separate factor in the moral life. The approach to specific virtues through a general concept of virtue rather than regarding the general as an abstraction or generalization from the specific appears to be held over from the treatment in the Syllabus. In all three ethical concepts, the growing role of the social in 08 stands out clearly.
