Objective: examine the concepts of ethics and morals in the context of integrity programs on the rise in the Brazilian public
administration, highlighting challenges and potential.
Theoretical framework: defines public administration as a field in formation and transdisciplinary in the treatment of its objects
of investigation. It is based on the philosophy of how to do philosophical from problems and whose essential function is the
production of contextualized concepts. It approaches ethics from deontological, utilitarian and virtues perspectives, also exploring
the concept of integrity from philosophy.
Results: demonstrates the imprecision and limits regarding the appropriation of the concepts of ethics and moral conduct in their
expression applied in public service, with the consequent weakening of efforts to codify conduct and the performance of ethics
committees in integrity programs.
Originality: proposes the philosophical work for the conceptual purification of ethics in relation to the meanings and potentials
of its different aspects in the process of appropriation of codes of conduct and performance of ethics committees in integrity
programs in public service.
Theoretical and practical contributions: highlights the potential of philosophy as a philosophical practice based on problems
such as an approach to appropriating ethics applied in a substantive way, transcending the current instrumentality in relation to
the established codes that are now more in line with a new element of bureaucracy with significant formalistic potential. It offers
a conceptual perspective capable of supporting the reorientation of integrity policies, especially in content and form of codes of
conduct and the performance of ethics commissions as spaces for formulation, deliberation and education.
