The moral philosophy is not about trying to solve problems. It's about justifying the state of affairs. When a new state of affairs arises, a moral philosophy justifying it will get adopted. E.g. Lockean ethics making property a fundamental right (later implemented as a "self evident god given thruth") is just a semi-theological justification for priviliged classes holding their privileges. A bit like divine rights of kings, or superiority of certain ethnic groups, or intellecual and moral superiority of the noblesse.
