In this major new work, Matthew Kramer seeks to establish two main
conclusions. On the one hand, moral requirements are strongly
objective. On the other hand, the objectivity of ethics is itself
an ethical matter that rests primarily on ethical considerations.
Moral realism – the doctrine that morality is indeed objective – is
a moral doctrine.
* Major new volume in our new series New Directions in
Ethics
* Takes on the big picture – defending the objectivity of ethics
whilst rejecting the grounds of much of the existing debate between
realists and anti-realists
* Cuts across both ethical theory and metaethics
* Distinguished by the quality of the scholarship and its
ambitious range
