This new edition of Alexander Miller’s highly readable introduction to contemporary metaethics provides a critical overview of the main arguments and themes in twentieth- and twenty-first-century contemporary metaethics. Miller traces the development of contemporary debates in metaethics from their beginnings in the work of G. E. Moore up to the most recent arguments between naturalism and non-naturalism, cognitivism and non-cognitivism. From Moore’s attack on ethical naturalism, A. J. Ayer’s emotivism and Simon Blackburn’s quasi-realism to anti-realist and best opinion accounts of moral truth and the non-reductionist naturalism of the ‘Cornell realists’, this book addresses all the key theories and ideas in this field. As well as revisiting the whole terrain with revised and updated guides to further reading, Miller also introduces major new sections on the revolutionary fictionalism of Richard Joyce and the hermeneutic fictionalism of Mark Kalderon. The new edition will continue to be essential reading for students, teachers and professional philosophers with an interest in contemporary metaethics.

Metaethics: A Contemporary Introduction provides a solid foundation in metaethics for advanced undergraduates by introducing a series of puzzles that most metaethical theories address. These puzzles involve moral disagreement, reference, moral epistemology, metaphysics, and moral psychology. From there, author Mark van Roojen discusses the many positions in metaethics that people will take in reaction to these puzzles. Van Roojen asks several essential questions of his readers, namely: What is metaethics? Why study it? How does one discuss metaethics, given its inherently controversial nature? Each chapter closes with questions, both for reading comprehension and further discussion, and annotated suggestions for further reading.

This book develops a novel interpretation of the late-nineteenth-century German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche as holding a distinct and original metaethical position (a theory about our practice of ethics). David Emannuel Rowe characterizes it as a human-centered metaethics. A central achievement of A Nietzschean Metaethics is to bring Nietzsche into a conversation with the analytic metaethical tradition. To do so, Rowe interprets Nietzsche’s use of such concepts as the notorious “will to power”; his ideal agent, the superman or Übermensch; nihilism; the eternal recurrence; Perspectivism; and Being and Becoming. The result is a view of Nietzsche as a radical moral error theorist, which is to say he defends the view that all statements that appeal to some value for their truth are false. This theory is radical because Nietzsche argues that insofar as language requires certain concepts for its truth it is in error, in virtue of an appeal to some value. Rowe also offers a view where the increase in one’s power is a standard by which one can make sense of Nietzsche’s so-called re-evaluation of all values. By means of this resolution, Nietzsche criticizes some contemporary themes in metaethics, such as particular views about moral motivation, reasons, moral error theory, and agency.

Excerpt from Moral Judgement: Readings in Contemporary Metaethics The first set of meta-ethical questions deals with the meaning of the words and sentences which occur in moral discourse. They are such questions as: What do the basic evaluative terms (good, right, praiseworthy, and so forth) and the basic prescriptive terms ought, must, obligatory, and so forth) mean in the various contexts of everyday moral practice in which evaluations and prescriptions are uttered? What different kinds of meaning do they have? What linguistic jobs do they perform? For what pur poses are they used? Under what conditions and in what ways are they vague or ambiguous? Are moral judgments genuine assertions or are they mere exclamations? In what respects are such judgments similar to, and in what respects are they unlike, ordinary factual assertions? In what sense do they express the attitudes and emo tions of the person who utters them? What effects do they normally have, or are they intended to have, upon those to whom they are addressed? The principal questions in meta-ethics concerning truth are the following: Is it legitimate or appropriate to apply the words true and false to moral judgments? If not, why not? If so, what do such words mean? What are the criteria for their application? How do these criteria differ from those for factual or empirical assertions? Do prescriptive and evaluative sentences express moral propositions? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
