Taking Morality Seriously
Author: David Enoch
language: en
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
Release Date: 2011-07-28
David Enoch develops, argues for, and defends Robust Realism--a strongly realist and objectivist view of ethics and normativity, according to which there are perfectly universal and objective moral truths. He offers elaborate positive arguments for the view, and asserts that no other metaethical position can vindicate our taking morality seriously.
Choosing Normative Concepts
The concepts we use to value and prescribe (concepts like good, right, ought) are historically contingent, and we could have found ourselves with others. But what does it mean to say that some concepts are better than others for purposes of action-guiding and deliberation? What is it to choose between different normative conceptual frameworks?
The Oxford Handbook of Moral Realism
Morality seems to play a special role in human life distinct from conventional norms, like those of etiquette, or simple preferences based on subjective tastes. There are various theories of the foundations of morality, some of which treat morality as "subjective" in an important way. "Moral realism" is however a family of theories that take morality to have an objective factual basis, such that morality is not "up to us" and is not "under our control". The contributions in this Oxford Handbook explore the central ideas and themes constituting moral realism and defend particular views about it.
