About Metaethics Explored (Philosophy Insights)

The book (also in paperback from Troubador) explains and discusses some key approaches in metaethics, and suggests that an account which is naturalist and objectivist might have more to commend it than is popularly allowed.Chapter 1 considers the strengths and limitations of the popular idea that morality is a set of rules for how we treat one another, pointing to the heart of the topic. Chapter 2 introduces the distinction between cognitivism and noncognitivism, and explains subjectivist, intersubjectivist, and objectivist accounts of the truth conditions of moral statements. Divine Command Theory and Kant’s categorical imperatives, as in his Groundwork of the Metaphysic of Morals, are explained and considered. Chapters 3 and 4 consider the hostility, philosophical and popular, towards objectivist realism. This includes some discussion of David Hume’s arguments in A Treatise of Human Nature and Enquiry Concerning the Principals of Morals, and of A. J. Ayer’s emotivism. It is argued that the said hostility is unwarranted. Chapter 5 sketches a naturalist objectivism and suggests that the obstacles to its acceptance are typically grounded on spurious asymmetries between ethics and other disciplines.
