A Meta-Ethical Critique of Care Ethics

Meta-Ethics

2020
Abstract Moore’s arguments begin a debate that revives sentimentalist and rationalist arguments. According to Moore, ‘good’ is indefinable, because there is no definition of it that mentions only ‘natural’ properties.

The meta-ethical grounding of our moral beliefs: Evidence for meta-ethical pluralism

Philosophical Psychology, 2013
Recent scholarship (Goodwin & Darley, 2008) on the meta-ethical debate between objectivism and relativism has found people to be mixed: they are objectivists about some issues, but relativists about others. The studies discussed here sought to explore this further.

Meta-Ethics and AI: Exploring the Novel Meta-Ethical

With the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the landscape of meta-ethics, which primarily focuses on human ethics, will begin to shift. Many novel meta-ethical questions will arise with the emergence of 'AI's own ethics', i.e., the ethical capacities of AI, instead of the mere ethical principles imposed on or programmed into AI by human ...
