R.M. Hare
Ethical statements are prescriptive, they are universal and they are logically consistant:
- Ethical language is intrinsically prescriptive
- They express more than just personal opinion
- They suggest what other people in similar circumstances should do and therefore universalise the prescribed principle
- They do not condradict
J.L. Mackie argued that morals cannot be universal as ideas on morality vary from person to person (due to the subjective nature of morals and cultural differences)
