A framing problem rather than a single theory: whether moral facts and values exist objectively, independent of what any person or culture believes (realism), or are constructed, relative, or expressions of attitude (anti-realism) — a fault line underlying every other ethics-of-meaning theory.
The framing problem for this whole domain: the apparent contradiction between plausible estimates that the galaxy should host many communicating civilizations, and the total absence of confirmed contact or evidence for any of them.
