"For many years, the first edition of Alex Miller's AnIntroduction to Contemporary Metaethics has been the primarytext for my course on metaethics. No text that I know of introducesstudents so thoroughly to the central theories, distinctions andarguments. The second edition fills in the additional backgroundnow needed. In particular, the expansion of the chapter on errortheories is particularly welcome."
Nadeem Hussain, Stanford University

"Given its breadth, thoroughness, and originality, Miller's AnIntroduction to Contemporary Metaethics is compulsory readingfor everyone interested in metaethics. The updated material of thissecond edition guarantees that there will soon exist a secondgeneration of metaethicists for whom reading this book is aformative experience."
Jussi Suikkanen, University of Birmingham

"Miller's book is ambitious, lucid, and comprehensive- an extremely useful and detailed study of the field. I wishit had been available when I taught my graduate seminar in moralrealism, for it would have made an excellent reference workthroughout the course - both for its clear exposition and itsrigorous critical perspectives. I recommend it to all seriousstudents of metaethics."
