Why We Really Cannot Believe the Error Theory
In Diego E. Machuca (ed.), Moral Skepticism: New Essays. Routledge (forthcoming)
Abstract
According to the error theory, normative judgments are beliefs that ascribe normative properties, but these properties do not exist. I have argued elsewhere (in "Can We Believe the Error Theory?") that we cannot believe this theory. Several philosophers have replied to this argument. In this chapter, I respond to their replies.Author's Profile
