PHIL 343 - Topics in Moral Theory (VT)
Addresses central questions in metaethics by examining the dialectic between moral realism and antirealism. Students consider questions like: Are there moral facts? Or do moral pronouncements express a noncognitive attitude? Can we reconcile the idea that morality is objective with the fact that there are scientific or sociological explanations of our moral beliefs? If there are moral facts, where do they come from?
