This article advocates for an anti-theory stance in the realm of ethics. Anti-theory posits that the moral choices made by individuals do not arise from adherence to any specific moral theory. Rather, individuals act in accordance with their own personal standards, which are both contextually relevant and culturally informed.

This paper presents a dual critique. On one hand, it scrutinizes the perspectives of theorists, specifically the Normative Rationalists and the Coherentists, contending that the moral principles advocated by Rationalists do not accurately mirror the genuine standards guiding individual actions. On the other hand, it turns its critical lens toward anti-theorist viewpoints, a category to which the author himself belongs. The paper argues that anti-theorist arguments effectively challenge the normative rationalist stance but are less persuasive when applied to the Coherentist perspective.
