Sharon Street

Sharon Street is a philosopher known for exploring ethics and moral philosophy. She examines how humans develop and justify moral beliefs, considering whether there are objective moral truths or if morals are human constructs. Street analyzes how our moral reasoning relates to our natural evolutionary origins and the challenges they pose for moral realism—the idea that moral facts exist independently of our beliefs. Her work encourages careful reflection on the nature of morality, questioning whether our moral opinions are truly anchored in an external moral reality or shaped by our biological and cultural evolution.
