More about the book
The book explores the complexities of metaethics, challenging the traditional distinction between metaethics and normative ethics. It critiques the notion of morality as mere rules for interpersonal conduct and examines various theories on the truth conditions of moral statements, including subjectivist, intersubjectivist, and objectivist perspectives. Key philosophical figures such as Kant, Hume, and Ayer are discussed, particularly their contributions to moral theory. The final chapter proposes a naturalist objectivism, addressing misconceptions that hinder its broader acceptance in ethical discourse.
