 Early work in experimental philosophy suggested cross-cultural differences in semantic, epistemic, and moral intuitions. For example, Machery, Mallon, Nichols, and Stich (2004) argued that East Asian subjects were more likely to hold descriptivist intuitions than their Western counterparts, who tended to embrace causal theories of reference. Haidt (2006) argued that the extent to which people judged harmless violations such as eating a deceased pet, or engaging in consensual sibling incest, to be wrong depended on socioeconomic status. Since, presumably, moral wrongness doesn’t itself depend on socioeconomic status, gender, or culture of the person making the moral judgment, these results have been marshaled to argue either against the evidential value of intuitions or against the existence of moral facts altogether.
