Either D-ology or C-ism can be taken meta-ethically or at the object level (ie following rules blindly or calculating consequences without knowing why).
Surely most are. C-ism is moral realism justified empirically, D-ology is moral realism jusitfied logically. Out of the two uses, the former, the meta ethical is more usual.
