**** Usage notes
- Although the terms _ethics_ and _morality_ are often used interchangeably, philosophical ethicists sometimes distinguish them, using _ethics_ to refer to theories and conceptual studies relating to good and evil and right and wrong, and using _morality_ and its related terms to refer to actual, real-world beliefs and practices concerning proper conduct. In this vein, the American philosopher 吴语: Brand Blanshard wrote concerning his friend, the eminent British ethicist 吴语: George Edward Moore : "We often discussed ethics, but seldom morals. . . . He was a master in ethical theory, but did not conceive himself as specially qualified to pass opinions on politics or social issues." [1]
