Description
Moral Reality by Paul Bloomfield presents a rigorous defence of moral realism, proposing that the property of being morally good is modelled on the property of physical health. This systematic approach explores the metaphysics and epistemology of morality, drawing on medical theory, ancient philosophical ideas, and modern theories of normativity. The author addresses traditional challenges to moral realism, providing a comprehensive analysis of the semantics and syntax of moral discourse. By examining our access to moral properties and motivations for moral action, Bloomfield develops an ontology for morality that sheds new light on this enduring philosophical question. This book offers a compelling theory of moral realism, making it a valuable contribution to the field of metaphysics and moral philosophy.
