Beschreibung:
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.
Mounts an extremely controversial and persuasive defence of ethical intuitionism and thus may prove highly influential in ethical theory
