The Moral Laboratory

The Prompt

Design a thought experiment or hypothetical scenario that could, in principle, distinguish between moral realism and moral anti-realism — a situation where the two positions would generate clearly different predictions or prescriptions. If you believe no such scenario is possible, argue why and explain what this impossibility itself tells us about the nature of moral disagreement.

Completion Criteria

Either a thought experiment with clearly articulated divergent predictions from realism and anti-realism, or a rigorous argument for why no such experiment is possible, with implications drawn for the status of the debate.
