Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to clarify the meta-ethical position of evolutionary ethics. Though there has been a discussion in the field of evolutionary ethics, about its meta-ethical characteristics between researchers advocating realism and those for non-cognitivism, this current study shows that the evolutionary biological ground of their claims has little difference. On the other hand, normative ethical part of this study, exploring theoretical collaboration between Disability Study and ethics, is conducted firmly.
