    aberdWhat are the key differences between Realism and Neo-Realism? Theories provide something better than just guessing‚ they offer a systematic and coherent way of conceptualizing about the world we live in.

I will look mostly at an argument posed by many moral realists that takes moral facts to be “supervenient natural facts which are independent of our theorizing about them”1 and in which moral judgments are determined by objective facts which relate to human flourishing or pleasure and pain.
