Is ethics an absolute imperative or just a passing trend? This was the starting point of the\u00a0luncheon debate\u00a0organized by\u00a0C\u00edrculo E\u00e7a de Queiroz, featuring\u00a0Ant\u00f3nio Bag\u00e3o F\u00e9lix\u00a0as the keynote speaker. The debate, themed\u00a0“Ethics: Imperative or Trend?”, provided a space for reflection on the nature of ethics and its relationship with morality, law, and both individual and collective responsibility. According to Ant\u00f3nio Bag\u00e3o F\u00e9lix, ethics is an\u00a0absolute imperative of being, which goes beyond legality, cannot be relativized by circumstances, and demands a balance between\u00a0freedom and responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the discussion, fundamental questions were explored, such as the\u00a0distinction between ethics and morality, the intersection between what is ethically acceptable and what is legally permissible, and the challenges of an\u00a0ethics that either adapts to circumstances or remains an unshakable principle. Ant\u00f3nio Bag\u00e3o F\u00e9lix also addressed the\u00a0erosion of values in contemporary society\u00a0and the urgent need for an\u00a0ethical renewal, both structurally and generationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The speaker emphasized the importance of\u00a0reconciling self-demand with the expectations placed on others\u00a0and questioned whether ethics is an\u00a0unwavering conviction\u00a0or merely a\u00a0temporary embellishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For\u00a0Ant\u00f3nio Ayres Gon\u00e7alves, President of the\u00a0Cultural Council of C\u00edrculo E\u00e7a de Queiroz,\u00a0“Discussing ethics today is not just an academic exercise, but a civic duty.”\u00a0Faced with the\u00a0moral and social challenges of our time, he stressed that\u00a0“it is essential to reflect on the principles that should guide our choices and behaviors.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
