Description for Moral Beliefs and Moral Theory
hardcover. Defends moral cognitivism with a fresh approach. This book argues that if a moral theory can be developed, which can account for widely held, well-established moral beliefs, this would provide a set of truth conditions for moral judgments. It presents a theory designed to do this - and through which major moral disagreements can be resolved. Series: Library of Ethics and Applied Philosophy. Num Pages: 306 pages, biography. BIC Classification: HPQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 19. Weight in Grams: 620.
