Description
Taking Morality Seriously: A Defense of Robust Realism by David Enoch This book presents a robust and objectivist view of ethics and normativity, arguing that there are perfectly objective, universal moral truths. Enoch develops and defends this view, which he calls "Robust Realism", in detail for the first time. Enoch's main motivation is that no other metaethical view can justify taking morality seriously. He presents two key arguments: one from the indispensability of normative truths in deliberation, and another from the moral implications of metaethical objectivity. These arguments are central to his defense of Robust Realism. By exploring these positive motivations and defenses, Enoch provides a comprehensive case for his view, which is sensitive to pre-theoretical intuitions about morality.
