In this crisply written book, Hanno Sauer offers the first book-length
treatment of debunking arguments in ethics, developing an empirically
informed and philosophically sophisticated account of genealogical
arguments and their significance for the reliability of moral cognition.
He breaks new ground by introducing a series of novel distinctions into
the current debate, which allows him to develop a framework for assessing
the prospects of debunking or vindicating our moral intuitions. He also
challenges the justification of some of our moral judgements by showing
that they are based on epistemically defective processes. His book is an
original, cutting-edge contribution to the burgeoning field of empirically
informed metaethics and will interest philosophers, psychologists, and
anyone interested in how - and whether - moral judgment works. |
