Abstract

The author considers the philosophical tradition of nominalism and empiricism regarding the moral consequences that emerge from the principal theses of the aforementioned tradition. After the study of the theory of knowledge and the anti-metaphysic ideas of William of Ockham (Middle Ages), David Hume, (Modernity) and the Vienna Circle representatives (present days), the author examines the consequences of these theories in the field of the foundations of morals. The study concludes that this tradition of thought leaves ethics without any foundations, leading to relativism and irrationalism.
