At the head of society - what is ethical science?
A modern, international organisation of ethical intellectuals

Tomorrow’s world has to have its scientific pursuits evolve in ethical standards. Our scientists and researchers need to acknowledge the full effects of today’s technological progress.

We are playing around with science like an ignorant child in a pharmacy playing around with all of the different medicines, some of which could cause great harm.

The Ethic Party neither advocates the communist idea that every person is the same nor the Hindu-idea of a caste-system with birth-right.

The Ethic Party's policy lies somewhere in between. On a spiritual platform we are all the same (Sat-Cit-Ananda-Vigraha, as described in the manifesto in world-view) but on the material platform our minds and bodies differentiate us from one another (Acintya-bheda-abheda-tattva).

We are not going to hug a tiger simply because we think he is just a spiritual soul and we are the same. No, the tiger would see us simply as his breakfast.

There are also people who are more ethical and others who are more animalistic and egoistic in their approach to life.

In "Politeia", Plato compares the construct of the state to a "large person", one with organs, a skeleton and a brain. Plato’s vision of the state embodies morals, justice, and ethical standards.

Ancient Indian scripture presents a similar simile between the social and human bodies. The social body naturally divides into four sections which correspond to the differing tendencies and capabilities of its inhabitants.

The caste system in India is being rapidly rejected because it concentrates on "right"s of birth. The actual recommendation of the Bhagavad-Gita is for society to be meritocratic so that people fulfil a role which they are willing and able to do.
