Empirical_Studies

Empirical Studies What is empirical data and how is it used. It is the data and concepts that are relevant to moral issues under discussion. The relationship of empirical science to moral thought is shown in the reading. You have to look at how human behavior can be answered and the fact that the way they act, explains their moral thought. Today there is a pattern where people are excused from accountability for their actions because of a relationship with their parents. Blame for some event is also put on the moral faults and not on the agent that doest the act. There are three questions that are needed to be answered when using empirical science. What data and concepts are relevant to the moral issue under discussion' You have to consider what is being included and excluded, and not distorting the data or taking it out of context when using it. The second question is, what interpretation of a field should be accepted, and on what grounds. And the last is how does the moralist deal w! ith the value biases of the studies that he uses.
