Noncognitivism in Ethics by Mark Schroeder
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. This title offers an introduction to these theories, ranging from their early history through the contemporary developments.'Noncognitivism in Ethics is the best introduction to noncognitivism and to the complex philosophical issues it generates that I have seenIt 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, USA
'Noncognitivism 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
