  Article:   MORAL OBJECTIVITY AND MORAL REALISM.

Authors:  BOGDAN A. DICHER.
 
       
         
  Abstract:  In these papers, I present three major trends in contemporary moral philosophy: non‐cognitivism, subjective cognitivism and naturalistic realism. The analysis main focus lies in revealing the sort of objectivity that each of this theories can claim for moral statements. I suggest that both cognitive subjectivism and naturalistic realism fail to give an acceptable reconstruction of moral objectivity. Non‐cognitivism, although it performs better, has extremely modest claims, and we need an argument to the extent that we can live with such modesty. Part I sets the stage for the entire inquiry, by analysing the conceptual resources adequate for it.
