The research of ethics can be done within the framework of three different models of reasoning. Deductivism formulates general principles in order to deduce particular norms and individual judgments. Inductivism observes cases and habitual practices to induce general norms and principles. Coherentism brings together the moral experiences more significant and the ethical perceptions more reliable in order to elaborate a coherent system. Principlist theories are more deductive, whereas casuist procedures are more inductive. This article analyzes the pros and cons of each one of these systems to arrive at the conclusion that the coherentism is the more adequate to give an answer to the moral problems of everyday life. Finally we present a research project called "Net of Virtual Conscience" which tries to take advantage of the moral experiences and perceptions of a group of persons working in internet with the webct program offered by the Complutense University of Madrid.
