  2. (uncountable, usually)The metaethical belief that nothing is morally right or morally wrong, that morality does not exist.
    “In law school, when we students thought the outcome of a case was determined by a rule we had studied, leftist professors admonished us, “Tools not rules!” In other words, rules control nothing; they’re merely tools you manipulate for the results you want. The fancy word for this kind of amorality is “instrumentalism,” and it subverts the rule of law.”
