Meta-ethical debate
The meta-ethical debate explores what morality really is—whether moral principles are objective truths, subjective opinions, or constructed by humans. Some argue that moral facts exist independently of us (moral realism), while others believe morals are based on personal feelings or cultural norms (moral relativism). There's also the view that morals are created through social agreements or language (constructivism). The debate seeks to understand the nature, origin, and status of moral values, asking fundamental questions about whether moral judgments are true or simply expressions of individual or societal attitudes.
