Moral Semantics

Moral semantics is the study of what moral terms and statements mean. In meta-ethics, it explores how we interpret concepts like "good," "wrong," or "justice." It examines questions such as whether these terms refer to objective truths or are simply expressions of our feelings or cultural norms. Essentially, moral semantics helps us understand the language of morality, including how we discuss and define moral issues, and how our understanding shapes ethical theories and practices.
