Since 1995, the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy has been a source of peer-reviewed information about the field of philosophy. The encyclopedia is continuously updated by a variety of philosophy scholars, offering the public with an increasingly useful one-stop shop for major philosophy concepts. One highlight of the Internet Encyclopedia is this thorough page dedicated to Ethics, a field commonly divided into three subfields: metaethics (an examination of the origins of ethical ideas); normative ethics (identifying and naming ethical codes and behaviors); and applied ethics (considering ethics of a variety of real-world issues). Here, visitors can learn more about these three subfields and the history of their development. As an online encyclopedia, these detailed explanations are accompanied by embedded links to related topics pages. Interested readers will want to note the extensive reference list for further reading.
