[blank_start]Meta ethics[blank_end] is the area of ethics that seeks to explore and discover the meaning of words used in ethical statements which can be contrasted with normative ethical theories which attempt to discover whether something is right or wrong and good or bad.This is because it attempts to give find the reason why something is right or wrong, as well as being able to be contrasted with descriptive ethics which is the attempt to compare and describe moral behaviours. Different meta ethical theories can be broken down to four different areas, these can be cognative which is a statement that is subject to being either true or false or non cognitive which is a view that ethical sentences do not express propositions and therefore cannot be true or false. Also it can be broken down to naturalism which is the view of what is good or bad, right or wrong and can be defined in terms of the natural property of an action, or non naturalism which is the idea that all things to do with meaning are knowable using intuition rather than empirical evidence.- AMeta ethics
