    Författare :Jacob Gustavsson; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Philosophy; Moral Progress; Metaethics; Moral Relativism; Moral Realism; Moral Convictions; Moral Skepticism;

    Sammanfattning : In this essay, I examine the interplay between history, progress, and morality, as it is discussed explicitly or implicitly in the metaethical literature. At first sight, it is perhaps intuitive that these three are necessarily intertwined and mutually dependent, as if they were casually connected. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : This paper concerns the semantic branch of meta-ethics, and examines a version of so called semantic pluralism advocated by Michael Gill. Briefly put, Gill suggests that ordinary people’s usage of moral terms is rather messy in the sense that the meaning of moral terms can vary not only between different people, but also for one and the same person in different contexts.

The author argues that this argument lacks both scope and strenght. LÄS MER
