PHL 630

Metaethics

This course explores the metaphysics, semantics, and epistemology of morality. Possible questions include the following: Are there moral facts and, if so, are they relative to individuals or society? Or, might morality somehow be objective? Can moral statements be true or false, or is moral discourse a matter of expressing our emotions? Is it possible for us to know anything about morality, and if so, how do we accomplish this? Through reason? Emotion? Intuition?
