Naturalistic Ethics
Naturalistic ethics is the view that moral truths can be understood through natural facts about the world, such as human nature and societal needs. In moral epistemology, it suggests we can know what is right or wrong by observing human behaviors, emotions, and the consequences of actions in real-life situations. Instead of relying solely on abstract principles or divine commands, naturalistic ethics emphasizes evidence and reasoning based on our experiences and the natural world, allowing for a more grounded understanding of morality that evolves with our knowledge.
