A philosophy is simply a way of thinking or seeing things. It is more or less what you choose to live by. Ethics is more of how you should live or the way you should treat others.

philosophy is about the pursuit of wisdom by intellectual investigation and moral self-discipline; it is based on the nature of things based on logical reasoning rather than empirical methods.
ethics is the study of the general nature of morals and the specific moral choices an individual makes in relating to others.
in short, philosophy is about wisdom while ethics is about morality.
