Summary/Abstract: In this paper, partly historical and partly theoretical, after having shorting outlined the development of meta-ethics in the 1900's starting from Wittgenstein's Tractatus, I argued it is possible to sustain that emotivism and intuitionism are unsatisfactory ethical conceptions, while, on the contrary, reason plays an effective role both in ethical discussions and in choices.
