From the reviews:
"A World without Values contains some of the best contemporary evaluations to date both of Mackie's error theory and of its wider philosophical significanceIt is also the first multi-authored work on this scale devoted exclusively to this topic. As such, it is a significant event." Hallvard Lillehammer (Cambridge University) in Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews, July 2010
“Chapter provides a good explanation of Mackie’s moral error theory. … Overall, this volume will be excellent reading for those interested in the strengths and weaknesses of Mackie’s moral error theory in particular, or in the metaethical debate between moral realists and anti-realists more generally.” (Diego E. Machuca, Philosophy in Review, Vol. XXXI (5), 2011)
