Description
Derek Parfit develops his influential ideas on reasons, normativity, and morality further in this volume. He engages with critics and shows how to resolve their differences. Parfit explores what it means for things to matter, focusing on the role of meta-ethical theory in understanding moral discourse. He discusses three main approaches: Normative Naturalism, Quasi-Realist Expressivism, and Non-Metaphysical Non-Naturalism (now referred to as Non-Realist Cognitivism). This book is a continuation of Parfit's work on objectivity, with discussions that draw on the views of contributors to Peter Singer's collection Does Anything Really Matter?.
