Abstract

This  article  analyzes  the  concepts  with
which   the   ethical   discourse   operates   from   the
perspective of the practical problems that the discourse
faces. The particularity of this analysis rests in the fact
that it presents the different interpretations attributed to
these concepts by the Romanian authors in the related
literature of the last decade. The first part of the article
discusses the differences between ethics, moral and
morality, as well as the elements of regulation which
are instituted in this case. The second section focuses
upon the relationship between normative and applied ethics,  accentuating  the  evolution  directions  of  the
functioning fields of applied ethics. The third section
highlights the characteristics which define moral norms
and values, as well as the mediation of the relationships
between them. The last part of the article examines the
distinctions  between  ethical  and  judicial  norms,  by
stressing the specific means of their functioning in
social practice.
