What is meta-ethics?

Meta-ethics is a branch of philosophy that focuses on understanding the nature of ethical statements, the meaning of ethical language, and the foundations of moral principles. It seeks to explore questions such as whether ethical claims are objective or subjective, whether moral truths exist independently of human beliefs, and how ethical statements can be justified or understood. Meta-ethics is concerned with the underlying assumptions and concepts that inform ethical debates, rather than specific moral judgments or codes of conduct.
