Ethics, as an independent discipline, was founded by Aristotle in the third century BC.

Aristotle's Nicole's Ethics is the foundation stone of the first ethical system in the history of western and human thought, which constitutes a solid cornerstone of human ethical thought. This system not only constitutes the great tradition of western ethical thinking about human life and life, the so-called life problem, but also constitutes the main basis of the whole theory of human ethics and moral philosophy.
