Secular Ethics – Introduction to Moral Theory
Whether Secular Ethics or Theistic Ethics, Max Hocutt nails the issue: “The fundamental question of ethics is, who makes the rules? God or men? The theistic answer is that God makes them. The humanistic answer is that men make them. This distinction between theism and humanism is the fundamental division in moral theory.”

 A Science of Ethics :When it comes to Secular Ethics, Humanists are working toward a “science of ethics” specifically in keeping with their beliefs in atheism, naturalism, and evolution. Kurtz, in The Humanist Alternative, calls for Secular Humanism to be “interpreted as a moral point of view.” Indeed, in the preface to Humanist Manifestoes I & II, Kurtz defines Humanism “as a philosophical, religious, and moral point of view.” Later in Humanist Manifesto 2000 Kurtz redefines Humanism as “an ethical, scientific, and philosophical outlook that has changed the world.Ethical Egoism: essentially what is ethical is what brings about the most happiness to you. It is all relative to your own ego and perception.Utilitarianism: Depending on if you are act or rule, but I won't go into that concept. It is essentially what brings about the most happiness to the largest number of people, yourself counting the same as all others.Deonotology: Seeks the good separate from immediate happiness and desires, it is governed solely by reason. One should do a duty for the sake of it being a duty. (Kant was a huge proponent in this one).

Existentialism: Really too hard for me to even try and define in a way people will understand so instead I will quote google on this one.A philosophical theory or approach that emphasizes the existence of the individual person as a free and responsible agent determining their own development through acts of the will.Naturalism: the concept that human instinct is inherently good and ethical and what truly corrupts is the existence of civilization. Tradition: Really don't want to define this one but whatever. -.- essentially ideas and concepts handed down from generations are ethical, much deeper than that, but I doubt that anyone has this secular theory anyways. Humanism: touches largely on maslow's concept of self actualization and that the good is found in the actualization of one's true potential.Stoicism: dates back to the stoics in Greece, it seeks the good in the denial of desires and as individuality is also a desire, depending on how radical we get, denying the existence of one's self.

Relativism : that moral values are relative to a particular environment  It argues that moral values can deffer from one culture to another, from one society to another, from one time to another and even from one individual to another. Virtue ethics :personal quality providing the basis for an individual to lead a good and noble life. virtue ethics stresses the type of moral quality that put us in a position to act morally. respond to a moral problem as that of a moral person. Kohleberg's model of cognitive moral development : classifies people into categories based on their level of moral judgment. Preconventional stage people make decisions based on concrete rewards and punishment and immediate self-interest.
