The Good, the Right, and the Real: Is Value a Fact?

Beschreibung

The book argues for a strongly objective understanding of ethics. Positive arguments in its favor are discussed and anticipated objections are answered. Alternatives to objectivist views of ethics are considered at length. Among such views include that all moral claims are false; that no moral sentences express truth claims; and that moral judgments derive their truth from the preferences or sentiments of human beings. Having argued for a strongly objectivist understanding of morality, the case is made that God deserves to be taken seriously as a contender for its best explanation.
