Ethics, Morality, and Justice as Relational Phenomena: A Falsifiable Framework

This paper presents a comprehensive, falsifiable framework for understanding ethics, morality, and justice as relational phenomena rather than absolute values. By distinguishing between natural relations (good/evil) and human constructions (right/wrong, just/unjust), and by separating normative goals from their materialization and consequences, this framework provides analytical tools for evaluating political systems, detecting inconsistencies in discourse, and understanding social conflicts without appealing to metaphysical foundations. The framework is descriptive rather than prescriptive, empirically testable, and applicable across diverse cultural and political contexts.

Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive, falsifiable framework for understanding ethics, morality, and justice as relational phenomena rather than absolute values. By distinguishing between natural relations (good/evil) and human constructions (right/wrong, just/unjust), and by separating normative goals from their materialization and consequences, this framework provides analytical tools for evaluating political systems, detecting inconsistencies in discourse, and understanding social conflicts without appealing to metaphysical foundations. The framework is descriptive rather than prescriptive, empirically testable, and applicable across diverse cultural and political contexts.
