Where our ethics come from
Ethics has a long and varied tradition. In Western civilization it grew from two main roots: the Greek idea of living a good life, and the Judeo-Christian idea of doing what is right. Those two traditions, shaped by history and culture, form the ethical view we hold as a club.
