Description

Metaethics Explored explores the nature of morality and its relationship to ethics. The author begins by challenging traditional distinctions between metaethics and normative ethics, and then examines various accounts of moral truth conditions.

The book considers key theories such as Divine Command Theory, Kant's categorical imperatives, and David Hume's arguments, alongside A.J. Ayer's emotivism. It also sketches a naturalist objectivist approach to morality, arguing that obstacles to its acceptance often stem from flawed assumptions about the boundaries between ethics and other disciplines.

Written by a tutor in philosophy at the University of Edinburgh, Metaethics Explored offers a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of one of the most fundamental questions in philosophy: what is morality?
