Mark Timmons, morality without foundations: A defense of ethical contextualism
Journal of Value Inquiry 35 (2):269-273 (2001)
| Abstract | In Morality Without Foundations, Mark Timmons argues that moral judgments (e.g. “cruelty is wrong”) have what he calls “evaluative assertoric content,” and so, are true or false. However, I argue that, even if correct, this argument renders moral truth or falsity mysterious. | |||||||||
