Description

The Moral Universe offers a significant advance in metaethical thinking, presenting a sophisticated development of nonnaturalistic moral realism. This novel approach addresses central questions in metaethics, exploring the nature of moral reality and its fundamental laws. The authors contend that moral standards are not only objectively authoritative but also essentially so, arising from the nature of things rather than personal schemes or collective ideals. The book provides a comprehensive treatment of various aspects of morality, including metaphysics, normative authority, and moral conceptual truths. By presenting a systematic and explanatorily potent version of nonnaturalist realism, this work tackles fundamental issues in value theory and normative ethics, shedding new light on the nature of morality and its relationship to the world.
