Journal Title: Polish Law Review - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The goal of the paper is to determine the meta-ethical influence of the “naturalistic fallacy” argument formulated by George E. Moore. In the first part of the paper, the “naturalistic fallacy” argument is subject to critical analysis. In the following parts of the work, the influence of this argument on the inception of two main meta-ethical standpoints – namely naturalism and antinaturalism – is indicated. What is more, the paper contains the assessment of strengths and weaknesses of these meta-ethical conceptions.<br/><br/>
