This resource contains everything students and teachers alike need to learn or teach the “Moral Realism” area of the AQA A-Level Philosophy specification. It contains the following information:
There are mind-independent moral properties/facts.
Moral naturalism (cognitivist) – including naturalist forms of utilitarianism (including Bentham) and of virtue ethics.

Issues that may arise for the theories above, including:
