FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description According to noncognitivists, when we say that stealing is wrong, what we are doing is more like venting our feelings about stealing or encouraging one another not to steal, than like stating facts about morality. These ideas challenge the core not only of much thinking about morality and metaethics, but also of much philosophical thought about language and meaning. Noncognitivism in Ethics is an outstanding introduction to these theories, ranging from their early history through the latest contemporary developments. Beginning with a general introduction to metaethics, Mark Schroeder introduces and assesses three principal kinds of noncognitivist theory: the speech-act theories of Ayer, Stevenson, and Hare; the expressivist theories of Blackburn and Gibbard; and hybrid theories. He pays particular attention both to the philosophical problems about what moral facts could be about or how they could matter, which noncognitivism seeks to solve, and to the deep problems that it faces, including the task of explaining both the nature of moral thought and the complexity of moral attitudes, and the Frege–Geach problem. This second edition has been revised and updated throughout. It includes new sections on whether expressivism is a metasemantic thesis; the rise of relational expressivism; the idea that expressivism leads us to a novel understanding of the nature of propositions; and expressivism and epistemic modals, deontic modals, probability, and truth. Schroeder makes even the most difficult material accessible by offering crucial background along the way. Also included are exercises at the end of each chapter, chapter summaries, and a glossary of technical terms, making Noncognitivism in Ethics essential reading for all students of ethics and metaethics.

Glossary of Terms Structured Bibliography Index Review Praise for the first edition:Noncognitivism in Ethics is the best introduction to noncognitivism and to the complex philosophical issues it generates that I have seen. It is written with teaching in mind. While the discussion is advanced enough to maintain the interest of even a professional reader, it presupposes very little. Schroeder always takes care to explain the point of any philosophical technique that might otherwise put off newcomers. - Mark van Roojen, University of Nebraska - Lincoln, USANoncognitivism in Ethics combines sparkling clear presentation and balanced critical assessment with extremely thoughtful and well-crafted sets of exercises that accompany each chapter. This is an ideal book for undergraduates beginning serious study of metaethics, while the more advanced exercises and masterful overview of the challenges confronting noncognitivist views also make this a perfect text for graduate seminars. - Mark Timmons, University of Arizona, USA Details ISBN036752922X Author Mark Schroeder Publisher Taylor & Francis Ltd Series New Problems of Philosophy Year 2023 Edition 2nd ISBN-13 9780367529222 Format Paperback Publication Date 2023-07-18 Imprint Routledge Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom AU Release Date 2023-07-18 NZ Release Date 2023-07-18 UK Release Date 2023-07-18 ISBN-10 036752922X Illustrations 1 Line drawings, black and white; 1 Illustrations, black and white Pages 276 Edition Description 2nd edition Alternative 9780367529277 DEWEY 170.42 Audience Tertiary & Higher Education Replaces 9780415773447 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
