what is expressivism
- Expressivism. Expressivism in meta-ethics is a theory about the meaning of moral language. According to expressivism, sentences that employ moral terms â for example, âIt is wrong to torture an innocent human beingâ â are not descriptive or fact-stating; moral terms such as âwrong,â âgood,â or âjustâ do not refer to real, in-the-world properties.
