Moral constructivism

Moral constructivism or ethical constructivism is a view both in meta-ethics and normative ethics.

This article is about the view in ethics. For other uses of the term, see Constructivism.

Metaethical constructivism holds that correctness of moral judgments, principles and values is determined by being the result of a suitable constructivist procedure. Meaning constructivism is the result of constructivism. In other words, normative values are not something discovered by the use of theoretical reason, but a construction of human practical reason.

In normative ethics, moral constructivism is the view that principles and values within a given normative domain can be justified based on the very fact that they are the result of a suitable constructivist device or procedure. Or more precise: constructivism is the result of constructivism.[1]
