Moritz Schlick's Ethical Naturalism and His Naturalization of Moral Epistemology

In his book Fragen der Ethik (1930/1984) Schlick presented a program for the reduction of ethics to a branch of psychology. In this paper it is demonstrated that Schlick's descriptive and naturalistic approach to ethical problems is an early manifestation of what has recently been called naturalized moral epistemology. His ethical considerations include a meta-ethical discussion of the nature of moral knowledge from a general naturalistic standpoint. It means that his naturalism includes not only naturalism about moral phenomena, but about moral knowledge as well. This feature of his ethical work has not previously been recognized.
