Quote:cognitivism, In metaethics, the thesis that the function of moral sentences (e.g., sentences in which moral terms such as “right,” “wrong,” and “ought” are used) is to describe a domain of moral facts existing independently of our subjective thoughts and feelings, and that moral statements can accordingly be thought of as objectively true or false.

Contrast this with noncognitivists who think "Murder is wrong" is not a fact or opinion. It is a "gut reaction" .... "Murder, bleh!" or "Murder, yuck!"
...

Based on previously discussed / corrected Big Grin definitions and that flow diagram, are you ok with Ethical Cognitivism and Moral Non-cognitivism as both being accounted for?

The VALUE of life is the legacy we leave behind ..... (from observation)
