Question

Match the ethical frameworks in Group I with their corresponding ethical theories in Group II. % Table \begin{center} \begin{tabular}{|c|c|} \hline Group I & Group II
\hline (a) Ethical Cognitivism & (i) Emotivism
\hline (b) Ethical Non-cognitivism & (ii) Prescriptivism
\hline & (iii) Descriptivism
\hline \end{tabular} \end{center} The CORRECT match is:

• (a) and (iii), (b) and (i), (b) and (ii)
• (a) and (i), (a) and (iii), (b) and (ii)
• (a) and (ii), (b) and (i), (b) and (iii)
• (a) and (i), (a) and (ii), (b) and (iii)

Hint:

When matching ethical frameworks, focus on whether moral judgments are treated as propositions or expressions.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The matching is as follows: (a) Ethical Cognitivism matches with (iii) Descriptivism, as Ethical Cognitivism holds that moral statements are propositions that can be true or false, aligning with the descriptive nature of moral facts. (b) Ethical Non-cognitivism matches with: (i) Emotivism, which argues that moral statements express emotional attitudes rather than factual claims. (ii) Prescriptivism, which suggests that moral statements serve as prescriptive commands rather than truth-apt propositions. Thus, the correct matches are: \[ (a) \to (iii), \quad (b) \to (i) and } (ii). \]
