Abstract

The author asks what normative ethics is. He defines its most important tasks, and argues against ethnocentrism and relativism. He is against associating morals with religious attitudes and confining it to the sphere of sexual life. Metaethics is to him the science of the nature, foundations and methods of normative ethics. He does not find this science to be morally neutral.
