An Introduction to Contemporary Metaethics by Alex Miller
This introduction provides a highly readable critical overview of the main arguments and themes in twentieth--century and contemporary metaethics. It traces the development of contemporary debates in metaethics from their beginnings in the work of G.E.
An Introduction to Contemporary Metaethics provides for the first time a critical survey of famous figures in 20th Century metaethics together with in--depth discussions of contemporary philosophers and will be an invaluable resource for students, teachers and professional philosophers with interests in contemporary metaethicsPhilosophical Inquiry In this book Alexander Miller, an established expert in moral philosophy, provides a concise, clear and insightful account of the central issues of metaethics. He manages to make these difficult issues accessible to those who are new to this area of philosophy, while offering original contributions to the debates that will be of interest to experts in the field. This is an engaging and accomplished introductory work. Philip Stratton--Lake, University of Reading Miller's book is ambitious, lucid, and comprehensive -- an extremely useful and detailed study of the field. I wish it had been available when I taught my graduate seminar in moral realism, for it would have made an excellent reference work throughout the course -- both for its clear exposition and its rigorous critical perspectives. I recommend it to all serious students of metaethics. John Corvino, Wayne State University
