The Ethical System of the Intellectual Elite and the Sociological Factors Affecting It

Every social world has three spheres: semantic, constitutional and individual. When the semantic and individual spheres are linked together through a transformational process, the external dialectic of social world takes form. Everybody has three identifying spheres: knowledge-based, request-based and potential-based. By linking up people's thought with their action in the process of self-making, the internal dialectic of social world takes form. Constitutions and ethical systems take form through the external and internal dialectic of social world. Based on their identities various social worlds do not rely on constitutional and ethical order in the same way. Until now, the most compatible ethical order in religious social worlds has come to existence and the most efficient constitutional order in material world has initiated with the help of experimental science. The intellectual elites in our society are influenced by the educational process of experimental science more than any, so that they are expected to exert their moral behavior on others. The distribution of worldly and divine ethical systems among the intellectual elites is a testimony the role which experimental science plays in recreating worldly and religious worlds. The intellectual elites ranks in the middle of worldly -divine ethical systems and their practical fidelity to ethical values has a low grade, and such variables like family tendency and its religious cosmology in preliminary sociability, besides specialty and special- job tendency and its scientific cosmology in secondary sociability explain their ethical system.
