Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Various views of generality of impersonal moral fundamentals by Western philosophers aroused debate between realism and anti-realism in recent ethics. The very points of the debate are concerned at whether there is any impersonal global moral fundamental and how to explain the present situation of morality in modern Western society. While realist views have been argued by a few of philosophers, more and more philosophers have also approved anti-realist ones. An ethics without morality has been rising up among various views of morality.
