| Moral realism: Moral realism is a philosophical viewpoint asserting that moral facts exist independently of human beliefs or perceptions. It holds that certain actions are right or wrong, regardless of individual or cultural opinions. Moral realists believe in objective moral truths that can be discovered and understood through rational argument and ethical reasoning. This contrasts with moral relativism, which views moral values as subjective or culturally determined.
