Different ethical visions from the Greek and Roman civilizations are described from their inception and development to the present day. The influences of the three monotheistic faiths, Judaism, Christianity and Islam are presented together with their interplay with secular ethics. The importance of biology, medicine, the environment and economics is analyzed to provide a sound foundation to the subject.
