Abstract
Abstract: Is ethics a problem of science? It is argued that in order to be considered a force to be reckoned with, ethics must be based on or be compatible with the contemporary scientific world view. It is shown that the currently popular ethical system of utilitarianism has its roots in a material realistic view of the world that grew out of classical physics. But currently the world view of classical physics is giving way to a new idealist view of quantum physics. A theory of ethics is developed based on the philosophy of monistic idealism and the idealist resolution of quantum measurement and mind‐body problems. Such a theory can resolve some of the knotty ethical issues that Kant first raised
