A Tension in the Moral Error Theory
In Richard Joyce & Simon Kirchin (eds.), A World without Values. Springer (2009)
Abstract
I highlight a tension within the moral error theoretic stance. Although I do not show that it is fatal, I believe the tension is problematic. In stating the tension I outline a conception of the common moral background against which it arises. I also discuss aspects of the similar error theories developed by John Mackie and Richard Joyce in order to show the tension at workAuthor's Profile
