- W4385280950 abstract "Extract I am a robust realist about morality. I think that there are at least some stance-independent, irreducibly normative, non-natural moral truths, and that they are a source of categorical reasons to act. I also think that we know these truths on the basis of intuition, and that ordinary moral terms—like ‘right’ and ‘good’ in English—can designate robust moral properties. In this book I develop and defend these views. I do this by asking what it takes for a moral choice to be normatively non-arbitrary, and by examining the role of interpersonal dialogue in moral inquiry and language. I think that robust realists can learn a lot by paying close attention to the concept of normative arbitrariness, and to facts about how human beings can, do, and should talk to one another about moral issues. I have been interested in metaethics since I first became aware of it, but it was only after several years of studying that I started to take moral realism seriously. I ended up doing my PhD on the metaphysics of robust realism, and part of what led to me writing this book was my dissatisfaction with that doctoral work. I note this because, like many others I know, I became somewhat disenchanted with philosophy after finishing my PhD, and in my case this involved the feeling that I had passed my viva but failed as a philosopher. I still feel a sense of failure when I think of my PhD work. I started this project not in the hope of exorcising such feelings, but in the hope of finding a sound case for my metaethical beliefs. In the Grand Scheme of Things the book doubtless falls short of that. But it defends robust realism to my satisfaction, and has led me to be once again enchanted by philosophy, which will do for now." @default.
