Moral Ontology

Moral ontology is a branch of meta-ethics that explores the nature of moral values and properties. It asks questions like: "What is goodness?" and "What exists in the moral realm?" Moral ontologists investigate whether moral truths are universal and objective, existing independently of human opinions, or if they are subjective, dependent on individual beliefs or cultural contexts. In essence, moral ontology delves into the foundation of moral claims, seeking to understand what underlies our ideas of right and wrong and how these concepts relate to the world around us.
