Today, we further unravel the complex fabric of moral non-naturalism, an intriguing stance within meta-ethics that asserts the objective reality of moral facts beyond natural phenomena. After establishing the foundational difference between ethics and meta-ethics, we are now set to dive into how non-naturalism confronts one of philosophy's perennial quests: the understanding of moral truths.
Our focus narrows on Intuitionism, a cornerstone of moral non-naturalism that argues for our innate ability to discern these truths. Intuitionists claim that certain moral insights are self-evident, requiring no extensive rationalization, yet they can spark significant philosophical debates. Thomas Reid's 'common sense' theory suggests our moral judgements stem from a form of direct cognition, much like our sensory perceptions. Modern thinkers like Robert Audi draw connections to foundational moral principles, suggesting a blend of intuition and rationality.
However, Intuitionism isn't without its critics. The theory's reliance on the intuitive apprehension of moral facts faces the challenge of explaining persistent moral disagreements. How can self-evident truths lead to such profound ethical conflicts? Moreover, the individuality of intuition raises questions about the reliability and universality of these supposed truths.
In this video, we'll dissect these concepts and assess the strengths and weaknesses of Intuitionism within moral non-naturalism.
