Abstract

This essay deals with the problem of banning in ethics and morality. The author believes that the deficiency of effectiveness of ethical and moral proposals that have been developed throughout history respond to the fact that lots of prohibitions rather than encouraging a virtuous moral behavior of the human beings provoke and stimulate the rejection of ethical rules imposed by society. Standing from a philosophical position, but aided by disciplines such as psychiatry and psychology, the occurrences in which human nature leads him to proceed contrary to what the moralists seek is examined. Besides, it is argues that many proscriptions and moral obligations should be discarded for unnecessary and counterproductive.
