Zusatztext
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.
