ethical naturalism  

Definition

  • Ethical naturalism is the view that ethical claims are either true or false and that their truth or falsity is determined by reference to the external world, either facts about human nature or facts about the physical world beyond humans. Ethical naturalism contrasts with ethical nonnaturalism, which is the view that ethical claims are either true or false but their truth or falsity is not determined by facts about the natural, physical world.
