It isn't (and nobsoy claimed it was), but if you

A) know ethics

B) have a love for the truth

It is harder to use ethics to lie to yourself or others. Ethics are a tool that can be used to justify heinous behaviour, or to shine a light on how your daily choices could be made better, all depending on those wielding the tool.

They said that because the word philosophy is from “love of wisdom”, not “love of truth”, as was claimed?
