éticamente

Éticamente is a term used in Spanish and Portuguese among others to describe actions, policies, or arguments performed in accordance with ethical principles. In everyday language, it translates to 'ethically' and is used to qualify conduct, decisions, or claims as morally appropriate according to a given framework.

In academic and professional contexts, éticamente is used to articulate normative judgments and to contrast ethically justified action with unethical or neutral alternatives. From a philosophical standpoint, éticamente depends on the normative theory employed: deontological duties, consequentialist outcomes, or virtue-based character.

In policy, journalism, medicine, or business, discussions often ask what is ethically permissible or ethically required. There is not a single universal standard of éticamente; different cultures, legal systems, and professional codes offer varying criteria.

The term relates to ethics, morality, and normative ethics; see also ethics, moral philosophy, and professional codes of ethics.
