{{cite encyclopedia |quote=Let us say that moral objectivism maintains that moral judgments are ordinarily true or false in an absolute or universal sense, that some of them are true, and that people sometimes are justified in accepting true moral judgments (and rejecting false ones) on the basis of evidence available to any reasonable and well-informed person. |first=Chris|last=Gowans |title=Moral Relativism |encyclopedia=The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (Spring 2012 Edition) |editor=Edward N.

<ref name=noncognitivism>
''[[Non-cognitivism]]'': A meta-ethical theory according to which moral issues are not subject to rational determination. Dealing with values, not facts, moral assertions are neither true nor false, but merely express attitudes, feelings, desires, or demands.[http://www.philosophypages.com/dy/n9.htm#noncog Philosophy Pages]

<ref name=prescriptivism>
[[Universal prescriptivism|''Prescriptivism'']]: [[R. M. Hare]]'s contention that the use of moral language conveys an implicit commitment to act accordingly. Thus, for example, saying that "Murder is wrong" not only entails acceptance of a universalizable obligation not to kill, but also leads to avoidance of the act of killing.[http://www.philosophypages.com/dy/p7.htm#presc Philosophy Pages]</ref>
