Abstract
The question of the relationship between moral judgments and reality is considered as an important question in moral philosophy. A group of philosophers which constitute the majority of moral philosophers in the west, reject the question and a minor group support it.
In this article, the writer emphasizes on the relationship in question, stating the objections and criticisms on the relationship between moral judgments and reality and their disastrous consequences when the relationship in question is denied. The denial of this relationship results in moral relativism which is chiefly rejected by practical moralists, which in turn obstacles the path to any useful discussions on it. Another negative result of its denial is that moral judgments might be considered to be “discourse inacheve” which bring about various unacceptable consequences. The writer believes that moral statements are necessary and the necessity of moral statements can be achieved by considering the effects of moral acts on the perfection of moral agents, a view which can be indirectly arrived at by taking into consideration the assertion made by the moral philosophers that moral acts are purposeful
