It explores the principles that govern individuals' behavior and the moral frameworks that shape societies. Books in this genre often tackle questions of right and wrong, justice and injustice, virtue and vice, as well as the ethical dilemmas that arise in various aspects of life, including business, medicine, technology, and personal relationships.
