#Metaethics

A school of thought that believes in the real, immutable existence of moral facts. Praised as a philosophical elixir capable of saving the world in theory, it often serves in practice as a timeless flame for endless debate. Enthralled by the quest for moral truths, its adherents tend to suspend ordinary judgments. At the slightest proclamation of ‘‘rightness,’’ they stand ready to venerate it as divine revelation.
