Overview

Oxford Studies in Metaethics is the only publication devoted exclusively to original philosophical work in the foundations of ethics. It provides an annual selection of much of the best new scholarship being done in the field. Its broad purview includes work being done at the intersections of ethical theory with metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of language, and philosophy of mind. The essays included in the series provide an excellent basis for understanding recent developments in the field; those who would like to acquaint themselves with the current state of play in metaethics would do well to start here. Topics explored in Volume 16 include moral worth, moral testimony, moral evaluation, expressivism, reasons, and normativity.

Reviews

The essays are of a consistently high quality, carefully and closely argued. They typically either propose a new problem for some metaethical theory (usually expressivism or some form of realism) or address and try to resolve a specific problem or issue for a metaethical theory ... This book will be very useful to scholars who work in metaethics and are interested in keeping current with advances and discussions in that field. * M. A. Michael, CHOICE *
