A Scientific Approach to EthicsOther Approaches

A Scientific Approach to Ethics: Other Approaches [In this chapter we will take a short survey of several methodologies of normative ethics that were developed in the twentieth century. First, we will explore the frameworks that assume that normative ethics is based not on rational choice but on some other factors (emotivism, intuitionism, and prescriptivism). Then we will discuss the views of several authors about the possibility of scientific ethics (Nowell-Smith, Harman, Sayre-McCord). Finally, we will examine the development of virtue ethics which is often claimed to be a major approach to normative ethics.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[In this chapter we will take a short survey of several methodologies of normative ethics that were developed in the twentieth century. First, we will explore the frameworks that assume that normative ethics is based not on rational choice but on some other factors (emotivism, intuitionism, and prescriptivism). Then we will discuss the views of several authors about the possibility of scientific ethics (Nowell-Smith, Harman, Sayre-McCord). Finally, we will examine the development of virtue ethics which is often claimed to be a major approach to normative ethics.]
