Science of morality

For moral sciences as the study of human life and activity, see Human science.
For the comparative study of moral systems across cultures or species, see Moral psychology and Evolution of morality.

Science of morality (also known as science of ethics or scientific ethics) may refer to various forms of ethical naturalism grounding morality and ethics in rational, empirical consideration of the natural world.[1] It is sometimes framed as using the scientific approach to determine what is right and wrong, in contrast to the widespread belief that "science has nothing to say on the subject of human values".[2]
