Morality Without Foundations : A Defense of Ethical Contextualism Hardback
by Mark (Professor of Philosophy, Professor of Philosophy, University of Memphis) Timmons
Hardback
- Information
Description
Timmons defends a metaethical view that exploits certain contextualist themes in philosophy of language and epistemology.
He advances what he calls assertoric non-descriptivism, a view that employs semantic contextualism in giving an account of moral discourse.
This view, which like traditional non-descriptivist views stresses the practical, action-guiding function of moral thought and discourse, also allows that moral sentences, as typically used, make genuine assertions.
Timmons then defends a contextualist moral epistemology thus completing his overall program of contextualism in ethics.
