Review
Philosophical Inquiry
"In this book Alexander Miller, an established expert in moral philosophy, provides a concise, clear and insightful account of the central issues of metaethics. He manages to make these difficult issues accessible to those who are new to this area of philosophy, while offering original contributions to the debates that will be of interest to experts in the field. This is an engaging and accomplished introductory work."
Philip Stratton–Lake, University of Reading
"Miller’s book is ambitious, lucid, and comprehensive – an extremely useful and detailed study of the field. I wish it had been available when I taught my graduate seminar in moral realism, for it would have made an excellent reference work throughout the course – both for its clear exposition and its rigorous critical perspectives. I recommend it to all serious students of metaethics."
John Corvino, Wayne State University
Product Description
- A highly readable critical overview of the main arguments and themes in twentieth century and contemporary metaethics.
- Asks: Are there moral facts? Is there such a thing as moral truth? Is moral knowledge possible?
- Traces the development of contemporary debates in metaethics from their beginnings in the work of G. E. Moore up to the most recent debates between naturalism and non–naturalism, cognitivism and noncognitivism.
- Provides for the first time a critical survey of famous figures in twentieth century metaethics such as Moore, Ayer and Mackie together with in–depth discussions of contemporary philosophers such as Blackburn, Gibbard, Wright, Harman, Railton, Sturgeon, McDowell and Wiggins.
In this chapter I provide a brief account of the territory covered in mathematics, an of the main philosophical positions in metaethics to be covered in detail in the curse of the book. Read the first page
