I believe some information was plagiarized from this website: http://www.philosophybasics.com/branch_ethics.html It should be mentioned appropriately, in the Reference section and in the appropriate sections within the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.24.126.90 (talk) 08:58, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Quick explanation of Wikipedia outlines

[edit]

"Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Wikipedia:Outlines for a more in-depth explanation. The Transhumanist 00:05, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Lots of misplaced entries

[edit]

This article has a lot of misplaced entries. For example, why is neuroethics under Outline of ethics#Metaethics? First Comet (talk) 14:06, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
