Formal ethics is a formal logical system for describing and evaluating the form as opposed to the content of ethical principles. Formal ethics was introduced by Harry J. Gensler , in part in his 1990 logic textbook Symbolic Logic Classical and Advanced Systems , but was more fully developed and justified in his 1996 book Formal Ethics book Formal Ethics . Formal ethics is related to ethical formalism in that its focus is the forms of moral judgments, but the exposition in Formal Ethics makes it clear that Gensler, unlike previous ethical formalists, does not consider formal ethics to be a complete ethical theory such that the correct form would be necessary and sufficient for an ethical principle to be correct .

In mathematics , formal moduli are an aspect of the theory of moduli space s of algebraic varieties or vector bundle s, for example , closely linked to deformation theory and formal geometry . Roughly speaking, deformation theory can provide the Taylor polynomial level of information about deformations, while formal moduli theory can assemble consistent Taylor polynomials to make a formal power series theory. The step to moduli spaces, properly speaking, is an algebraization question, and has been largely put on a firm basis by Artin s approximation theorem . A formal universal deformation is by definition a formal scheme over a complete local ring , with special fiber the scheme over a field being studied, and with a universal property amongst such set ups. The local ring in question is then the carrier of the formal moduli. References Springer id d d030700 title Deformation Category Moduli theory ... more details

File Agendacumple en Z.jpg thumb upright An example formal specification using the Z notation . In computer science , a formal specification is a mathematics mathematical description of software or computer hardware hardware that may be used to develop an implementation . It describes what the system should do, not necessarily how the system should do it. Given such a specification , it is possible to use formal verification techniques to demonstrate that a candidate system design is correct with respect to the specification. This has the advantage that incorrect candidate system designs can be revised before a major investment has been made in actually implementing the design.

A formal analysis is an established method for analysis analyzing works of art . First introduced by Roger de Piles 1635 1709 , in his book the Principles of Painting , the technique of formal analysis is more fully developed by Roger Fry in Vision and Design 1909 . For a particular work of art , a formal analysis consists of a purely visual description of the work irrespective of cultural context, history , or artistic motivation. As such, it is a basic tool for Art history art historians and artist s to understand the purely visual aspects of a work of art. This is not to say that such cultural or motivational interpretations can be separated from the artwork, but that the visual elements provide an essential starting point for understanding a work of art.
