Living Ethics (Russian: Живая Этика, German: Lebendige Ethik, French: Éthique de Vie) has also another equivalent but less widespread meaning Agni Yoga (Агни Йога) — a philosophical and ethical teaching which embraces all sides of being — from cosmological problems, down to daily human life. This teaching is based on the books written by Helena and Nicholas Roerich in the first half of the 20th century, in cooperation with the Teachers of the East.

Famous quotes containing the words living and/or ethics:
“I think “taste” is a social concept and not an artistic one. I’m willing to show good taste, if I can, in somebody else’s living room, but our reading life is too short for a writer to be in any way polite. Since his words enter into another’s brain in silence and intimacy, he should be as honest and explicit as we are with ourselves.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
“The most powerful lessons about ethics and morality do not come from school discussions or classes in character building. They come from family life where people treat one another with respect, consideration, and love.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
