| Debunking morality: evolutionary naturalism and moral error theory | |
| Συγγραφέας: Hallvard Lillehammer Hallvard Lillehammer: Debunking morality: evolutionary naturalism and moral error theory (pdf, 28 pages) The  paper  distinguishes  three  strategies  by  means  of  which  empirical  discoveries  about  the  nature  of morality can be used to undermine moral judgements. On the first strategy, moral judgements are shown to be unjustified in virtue of being shown to rest on ignorance or false belief. On the second strategy, moral judgements are shown to be false by being shown to entail claims inconsistent with the relevant empirical discoveries. On the third strategy, moral judgements are shown to be false in virtue of being shown to be unjustified;  truth  having  been  defined  epistemologically  in  terms  of  justification.  By  interpreting  three recent error theoretical arguments in light of these strategies, the paper evaluates the epistemological and metaphysical relevance of empirical discoveries about morality as a naturally evolved phenomenon. | |
