Why? apzns2_2 https://padlet.com/apzns2_2/9kk99qr8k8z1l9r3/wish/2584416716 2023-05-09 21:22:37 UTC https://padlet.com/apzns2_2/9kk99qr8k8z1l9r3/wish/2584416716 We used the analogy of footballers and commentators to illustrate the difference between normative ethics and meta-ethics. Can you think of your own analogy to illustrate the difference? apzns2_2 https://padlet.com/apzns2_2/9kk99qr8k8z1l9r3/wish/2584417388 2023-05-09 21:23:47 UTC https://padlet.com/apzns2_2/9kk99qr8k8z1l9r3/wish/2584417388 Why do you think some people are naturalists in meta-ethics?
