1Meta Ethics is the study of [blank_start]underlying ethical ideas[blank_end], concerned with the meaning of goodness. It comes from the Greek ‘meta’ meaning [blank_start]‘beyond’[blank_end]. Meta ethics contrasts with [blank_start]normative ethics[blank_end] (the attempt to work out which actions are right or wrong) and [blank_start]descriptive ethics[blank_end] (the attempts to compare and describe moral behaviours). Meta ethics can involve ethical naturalism or ethical non-naturalism. Naturalism is the view that morals can be defined or explained in natural terms, or supported through the observation of the world in science. Non-naturalism is the idea that morals can not be defined in natural terms or through observation of the world. [blank_start]F.H.Bradley[blank_end] was an ethical naturalist who argued that goodness is a natural aspect of society, as people reach ‘self realisation within the community’. Some people may disagree with him as this is a narrow account of goodness. [blank_start]G.E.Moore[blank_end] criticised naturalism as he believed that it was a mistake to define goodness in terms of natural facts - he called this [blank_start]the naturalistic fallacy[blank_end]. Another ethical [blank_start]non-naturalist[blank_end], [blank_start]David Hume[blank_end], argued that it is illogical to take a statement about how the world is and infer from it a judgement about how people ought to act - he called this [blank_start]the is-ought gap[blank_end].
