Description
Contemporary Metaethics: An Introduction by Alexander Miller provides a comprehensive overview of the key debates and theories in 20th-century metaethics. The book explores the development of contemporary arguments from G.E. Moore to recent discussions between naturalism and non-naturalism, cognitivism and non-cognitivism. Miller examines the major theories and ideas in this field, including anti-realist and best opinion accounts of moral truth, as well as the work of Richard Joyce and Mark Kalderon on fictionalism. This new edition includes revised guides to further reading and updated sections on recent developments in the field. Suitable for students, teachers, and professional philosophers interested in contemporary metaethics, this book offers a clear and accessible introduction to the subject.
