I'm not sure. In my mind I'm a cognitivist, but I think cognitivism is a weak stance. To my mind, in order to reason about something, you need to have both the what and the how, as it is the hows which allow us to transform one what into another what through reasoning. But morality doesn't have any good hows, just a lot of whats. So to my mind, whats without the hows, which describes most ethics, is incomplete.
