Remaining \"beyond the sequence\" of philosophical abstraction, science and art are present (in a sublated form) as the sociocultural background of ethical thought. Inasmuch as morals permeate the most diverse forms of the practical and intellectual activity of humanity, one should neither restrict the investigation of it strictly to the boundaries of philosophical-ethical analysis, nor limit its study to the special, concrete human sciences.
