1 is correct!
To do moral philosophy is
{ 1 } - to reason about the ultimate questions of morality.
{ 2 } - to reason about the ultimate questions of life.
Moral philosophy focuses on two key questions:
Metaethics: What is the nature and methodology of moral judgments?
Normative ethics: What principles ought we to live by?
Metaethics is more basic, since it studies how to select moral principles and thus how to do normative ethics. We'll first talk about method, and then later use this method to try to decide how we ought to live.
