基本説明

New in paperback. Hardcover was published in 2006. 'Read this. It is the best book ever written on meta-ethics. Even philosophers who know the field may feel as through they are confronting these issues for the first time. I used to think of ethical intuitionism as a silly, naÏve, even ridiculous theory, but Michael Huemer has made an intuitionist out of me.' - Stuart Rachels, Department of Philosophy, University of Alabama, USA.

Full Description

A defence of ethical intuitionism where (i) there are objective moral truths; (ii) we know these through an immediate, intellectual awareness, or 'intuition'; and (iii) knowing them gives us reasons to act independent of our desires. The author rebuts the major objections to this theory and shows the difficulties in alternative theories of ethics.
