Canadian Journal of Philosophy, 1980
Meta-ethics without normative ethics is empty. In the current climate this hardly needs emphasis: since 1960 or so philosophers in the English-speaking world have put away their earlier reluctance to think about substantive moral issues. For a while, in fact, it seemed that normative ethics would completely dominate the scene in the way metaethics once

The Journal of Men's Health & Gender, 2004
Abstract There are four main traditions that inform our current consensus statements on medical ethics. These are the virtue ethics of ancient Greece, the Judaeo-Christian tradition, deontology and utilitarianism. Feminist writers see all four of these traditions as stemming from a specifically masculine conception of human identity. Feminist writers

Acta Analytica, 2008
The author takes up three metaphysical conceptions of morality — realism, projectivism, constructivism — and the account of justification or reason that makes these pictures possible. It is argued that the right meta-ethical conception should be the one that entails the most plausible conception of reason-giving, rather than by any other consideration.

The meta-ethical grounding of our moral beliefs: Evidence for meta-ethical pluralism
Philosophical Psychology, 2013Recent 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 ...openaire +1 more source
2011
According to Sidgwick, ethical judgments are, primarily, judgments about the right actions, or actions which ought to be done. Therefore, it is essential for students of ethics to understand the meanings of the terms ‘right’ and ‘ought’. At the same time, the notion of ‘good’ also plays an important role in ethics. Moral actions are often called ‘good’

The importance of meta-ethics in engineering education
Science and Engineering Ethics, 2004Our shared moral framework is negotiated as part of the social contract. Some elements of that framework are established (tell the truth under oath), but other elements lack an overlapping consensus (just when can an individual lie to protect his or her privacy?). The tidy bits of our accepted moral framework have been codified, becoming the subject of

A Meta-Ethical Critique of Care Ethics
Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics, 2001A meta-ethical analysis demonstrates that care ethics is a grounded in a distinct mode of moral reasoning. This is comprised primarily of the rejection of principles such as impartiality, and the endorsement of emotional or moral virtues such as compassion, as well as the notion that the preservation of relations may override the interests of the ...

Meta-Ethics and Meta-Aesthetics
2023Abstract Metaethics is a live and flourishing subdiscipline of ethics, and meta-aesthetics flourishes in aesthetics, but only infrequently under that title. Still, in the long history of aesthetics and the philosophy of art, a great many thinkers have delved into meta-aesthetic issues.

The Use of Meta-Ethics in Adjudication
Oxford Journal of Legal Studies, 2003This article responds to Jeremy Waldron's claim that the truth or falsity of moral objectivism makes no difference to the arbitrariness, or otherwise, of adjudication (the 'no-difference thesis'). I start by outlining the way in which I believe objectivism and its opponents should be distinguished, before setting out Waldron's arguments in favour of ...
