Taking Morality Seriously

Produktbeschreibung

David Enoch develops, argues for, and defends Robust Realism¿a strongly realist and objectivist view of ethics and normativity, according to which there are perfectly universal and objective moral truths. He offers elaborate positive arguments for the view, and asserts that no other metaethical position can vindicate our taking morality seriously.
