This research discusses the crisis of ethics within what is known as "philosophies and trends of the end of history", and the resulting distortion of the principle of "ethics", as a result of the claim that history had ended, as well as mankind and human values.

Among these intellectual trends, philosophies - that supported material values versus spiritual values – have emerged, such as Hegelianism and Marxism. More modern trends have also emerged, making the relationship among civilizations a clashing one, such that spiritual and human values have been bypassed at the expense of showing liberal values, and the values of the "instrumental rationality".

The conclusion was an evaluation of the ideas presented by these philosophies such as: the principle of interest, and ethics instead of the moral knowledge that characterizes human existence.
