Philosophical inquiry into ethics is divided into three major branches by field of interest: Descriptive Ethics (empirical study of people's moral beliefs and practices), Normative Ethics (prescriptive standards of right and wrong conduct), and Meta-ethics (analytical study of the meaning and justification of moral concepts).
