'Philosophical ethics could be called the study of what is good and bad'? - I would question this as being a definition of Ethics! That 'good' and 'bad' exist by themselves, I find a difficult assumption.

I think a better definition would be "Ethics is the study of how one ought to live,""Ethics is the study of what makes for the best life," or some more eloquently written equivalent. In general I don't see how this page in it's current state is informative. Would anyone object if I began to edit it?

Terrible. Simply too many flaws in the 'introduction' to list.

Introduction to Philosophy: What is Ethics?

[edit source]

The heading here correctly says "What is Ethics?"

The link to it, however, says "What are Ethics?"

Also many of the subjects overlap, making it hard to distinguish between the three documents "what is ethics?" "what is ethics" and "introduction to philosophy/what is ethics"

all three of these should be combined or layed out in such a way that there is little or no overlap

This is part of a clean up campaign, but there are a couple of orphaned modules that appear to have come from this Wikibook. See:
