Resumen

Consideramos que la pregunta “¿qué es la ética?” implica una investigación ontológica como metaontológica, lo cual debería conducirnos a una explicación y justificación del programa de investigación natural. Bajo ese marco, una investigación ontológica debería darse favorablemente si es irrestricta a la vez que epistémicamente responsabilizada con el otorgamiento de criterios. En ese caso, la ontología de algo podría llamarse una teoría-puerto, la cual, en relación con la ética y en nuestro caso, se delimitará al examen de posturas metaéticas y a la definición de ética en función de la definición de su objeto de estudio. El examen resultará en la percepción de una aparente inabarcabilidad de la moral, la cual podría dirigir a un abolicionismo basado en su fatiga conceptual. Objetamos a este abolicionismo sosteniendo que la amplitud de lo moral en su exposición metaética más bien llama a una mayor concordancia con el naturalismo.
