was accused of corrupting kids and refusing to believe in God.
and was sentenced to death by poison by the gods of the city.

Plato

348 BCE

Ethics is defined as a desire to do the right thing and live a good life. Plato's major goal is to challenge most people's notions about goodness, because it is here that they go horribly wrong in their attempts to live happy lives. Most people consider morality to be a modest benefit or even a hindrance to leading a happy life. This, according to Plato, is erroneous.
We can only hope to be happy if we are virtuous.

Aristotle

322 BCE

Aristotle's ethics is concerned with action rather than words.
being correct in and of itself, regardless of other factors, but
through activities that are beneficial to mankind Aristotle establishes himself to figure out what this good is and what the science behind it is corresponds to it.

Thomas Hobbes

1679

Human beings, according to Thomas Hobbes, are self-centered animals that would do everything to enhance their situation.  People, according to Hobbes, would act based on their own desires. If left to their own devices, bad impulses will manifest; as a result, they will. Should not be trusted to make their own decisions.  Furthermore, Hobbes believed that nations, like persons, are greedy.  Each country, in his opinion, is constantly fighting for survival, wealth and power.

Bentham Bill

1832

The phrase "Do whatever produces" best explains ethics. The notion claims that "the greatest good for the greatest number" because it is the effects of an act, not the act itself, that make it right. The reason behind the action. The outcomes or impacts are what determine the good or badness of a certain action.
