2. Moral anti-realism: This is the opposite of moral realism, and includes various theories such as moral relativism, moral subjectivism, and moral nihilism. These theories argue that moral facts are not objective and do not exist independently of human beliefs and attitudes.
3. Moral cognitivism: This is the view that moral statements are capable of being true or false, and that moral judgments express beliefs that can be evaluated in terms of their truth or falsity.
4. Moral non-cognitivism: This is the view that moral statements do not express beliefs or propositions, but instead serve other functions such as expressing emotions, attitudes, or commands.
5. Moral naturalism: This is the view that moral facts are reducible to natural facts, such as facts about human biology, psychology, or social interactions. Moral naturalists argue that moral properties can be explained in terms of natural properties.
6. Moral non-naturalism: This is the view that moral facts are irreducible to natural facts, and that moral properties are distinct from natural properties. Moral non-naturalists argue that moral facts are objective and exist independently of natural facts.
7. Moral skepticism: This is the view that we cannot have knowledge or justified beliefs about moral facts, and that moral knowledge is either impossible or highly uncertain. Moral skeptics may argue that moral truths are unknowable, or that moral beliefs are not justified by reason or evidence.

1. Normative Metaethics
- Goal: To determine the nature of moral goodness and the criteria for right and wrong actions.
- Examples:
- Ethical Naturalism: Claims that moral values are objective and grounded in natural properties or facts.
- Ethical Subjectivism: Claims that moral values are subjective and vary depending on individual perspectives or preferences.
- Ethical Relativism: Claims that moral values are relative to different cultures, societies, or individuals.
2. Descriptive Metaethics
- Goal: To study the language and concepts we use to talk about morality, without evaluating the truth or validity of those concepts.
- Examples:
- Moral Semantics: Analyzes the meaning of moral terms and concepts, such as "good," "bad," "right," and "wrong."
- Moral Ontology: Investigates the nature of moral properties and entities, such as the existence of moral facts or duties.
- Moral Epistemology: Examines the sources and limits of our moral knowledge and beliefs.
3. Meta-Metaethics
- Goal: To examine the nature of metaethics itself, its methods, and its limits.
- Examples:
- Anti-Metaethics: Denies the possibility of objective metaethical knowledge, claiming that all metaethical claims are either meaningless or subjective.
- Normative Meta-Metaethics: Investigates the criteria for evaluating metaethical theories and determining which are most plausible.
- Descriptive Meta-Metaethics: Studies the history, development, and characteristics of metaethical thought.
