ABSTRACT
In the old days, the recognized ritual of enquiry in philosophical ethics was a critique of the major schools. Outstanding hypotheses about the nature of morality were embodied in Utilitarianism, Kantianism, Eudaemonism, and the rest. Each made assertions or rested on assertions about the nature of man and his world, human problems and the human predicament. Accordingly, in Anthropology and Ethics, the generalized concept was explicated through an inventory of constituents. The constituents were partly types of content, and partly feature of the way the content is organized in the life and consciousness of a people. In philosophical ethics, as is generally known, most ethical theories for the greater part of Western philosophy were bound to a particular view of existence.
