Özet:

The main focus of this study is the relationship between code of ethics and morality. When necessary, the paper will also shed light on the relationship between morality and law. Discussions regarding the interaction among ethics, morality and law deepen and intensify especially in today’s life world, which is increasingly getting complicated, dynamic and pluralistic. In such a setting, particular standards, norms and regulations seems to be necessary to shape and guide human behavior and social relationships. Thus, codes of ethics and legal regulations appear to be the initial solution that comes to mind. However, it is self-evident that these solutions do not lead to expected results. For this reason, this study is designed to investigate the following questions: ‘Is it possible to regulate both human behavior and social life only with code of ethics and code of law?’, ‘How efficient would those codes be in terms of directing human relationships and behavior?’, ‘Doesn’t codification of particular fields of social life weaken moral sensitivities?’, ‘Would such general and abstract regulations provide coherence with the concrete, flowing and changing character of life?’
