The goal of L'Éthiquerie
At L’Éthiquerie, we believe that our daily behaviors often have positive or negative consequences on others, without us being aware of them. Our goal is to improve knowledge about said behaviors as well as their consequences in order to determine which ones should be promoted and which ones should be avoided, and to propose concrete solutions to achieve all of this.
L’Éthiquerie publishes research syntheses and advice to enable everyone, in their own way, to improve the world by doing as much good as possible throughout their lives.
Scientific rigor
To have a real impact on the world, L’Éthiquerie relies as much as possible on the highest level of evidence available. Throughout our writing, we try to report on the state of scientific or technical literature in order to provide the best knowledge on the covered topics. In addition, we strive to update the content of our articles as new data become available. This is all the more important because when there are few studies and no consensus in the literature, new information can greatly change our view of reality.
Consequentialism
L’Éthiquerie considers consequentialist theories to be the most convincing moral theories. So when we deal with ethics in our daily lives and judge a behavior as ethical or not, we rely on consequentialist theories. We also believe that for most of our behaviors, the conclusions of said theories are close. Thus we don’t try to follow any one in particular. L’Éthiquerie simply encourages behaviors that have the greatest positive impact on sentient individuals and discourages those that have an overall negative impact.
