Ethical objectivity?
I’m working on an (undergraduate) essay about moral objectivity, and I’m primarily concerned with whether any metaethical accounts can successfully posit existential mind independence of moral judgements whilst side-stepping the controversial metaphysics of traditional moral realism. I was going to focus on evaluating quasi-realism, but that’s starting to look less attractive…
Any suggestions? Does anyone have a favourite way of approaching moral objectivity that is other than existential mind independence, or perhaps through a more traditional realist account? Where is the most compelling conversation for you?
I’m considering looking at John McDowell’s use of the concept of dispositional properties as avoiding the ontological unattractiveness of other realist theories. But I don’t know.
?
