Abstract

RÉSUMÉ: Un argument standard contre le non-cognitivisme va comme suit. Les noncognitivistes, dit-on, sont théoriquement commis à endosser la doctrine de l’internalisme; or la doctrine de l’internalisme requiert que l’amoraliste soit inconcevable; comme l’amoraliste est concevable, l’internalisme doit être faux; le non-cognitivisme, par conséquent, n’est pas plausible. C’est ce que nous pouvons appeler l’«argument de l’amoraliste». J’essaie de montrer dans cet article que l’argument de l’amoraliste ne constitue pas la réfutation décisive du non-cognitivisme que plusieurs réalistes en morale pensent y voir. Mon approche à ce sujet est de développer les implications sémantiques d’une conception d’inspiration empirique du non-cognitivisme.
