Principia Meta-Ethica

Philosophy

“Principia Meta-Ethica is a welcome book for our times. Van Reken's case for classic moral realism provides clarifying discussions of the moral order, the moral field, warranted moral belief, and the grounding of morality. In a clear-thinking analytic style, he proposes an ambitious metaethical theory encompassing both teleology and deontology. This should provoke important discussions, especially among those who may still consider themselves rivals.”
