| Summary: | In this major new work, Matthew Kramer seeks to establish two main conclusions. On the one hand, moral requirements are strongly objective. On the other hand, the objectivity of ethics is itself an ethical matter that rests primarily on ethical considerations. Moral realism - the doctrine that morality is indeed objective - is a moral doctrine.Major new volume in our new series New Directions in EthicsTakes on the big picture - defending the objectivity of ethics whilst rejecting the grounds of much of the existing debate between realists and anti-realistsCuts across both ethical theory and metaethicsDistinguished by the quality of the scholarship and its ambitious range. |
