What is moral intuition skepticism?

Moral intuition skepticism is the philosophical position that questions the reliability and validity of moral intuitions as a basis for ethical judgments. It argues that moral intuitions, which are immediate and instinctive feelings about right and wrong, are not a reliable source of moral knowledge. This skepticism suggests that moral intuitions may be influenced by personal biases, cultural conditioning, or evolutionary factors, making them subjective and unreliable. Therefore, moral intuition skeptics advocate for alternative approaches to ethics that rely on reason, empirical evidence, or objective principles rather than relying solely on moral intuitions.
