Summary: | The book gives an account of the subjectivist view of morality. Most thinking about morality assumes that moral laws exist in addition to or irrespective of what humans prefer or what consequences result. This objectivist view holds that whether or not an action is morally right is as much a fact of nature as whether or not a thing is metallic. It either is in fact metallic or it is not regardless of what humans might think or prefer. |
