Answering Moral Skepticism
The central goal of Answering Moral Skepticism is to defend moral realism against antirealist challenges. It is an excellent introduction to metaethics, ideal for use as a textbook for undergraduates or beginning graduate students, either on its own or as a supplement to primary texts. The book will also be engaging to professional philosophers interested in metaethics. In the preface, Kagan explains that the book was inspired by his experiences …
Epistemology for Realists
According to the moral realist, moral judgments express beliefs in objective moral facts. Moreover, moral realists tend to hold that, while we can be mistaken about morality, many of our moral beliefs amount to substantial moral knowledge. What kind of story should the realist offer in order to explain how such knowledge is achieved? One might expect that the correct answer to this question depends on whether naturalism or non-naturalism is true.…
Moral knowledge replies to critics
Moral knowledge precis
Moral Knowledge addresses, and argues for answers to, a wide range of questions within moral epistemology, including questions about the sources of moral knowledge, the strengths and weaknesses of the method of reflective equilibrium as an answer to the question of where moral knowledge and justification come from, questions about moral testimony and moral expertise, and questions about the relation between experience and moral knowledge. It also…

OBJECTIVES: We describe the adaptation of the first large pragmatic randomized controlled trial of the Whole Health model for chronic pain care for dive…
Philosophical Methodology and Levels of Generality
Are There any Successful Philosophical Arguments?
According to Peter van Inwagen, there are no successful philosophical arguments for substantive conclusions. He argues for this thesis in two steps. First, he puts forward and defends a "criterion of philosophical success," according to which a philosophical argument is a success just in case it has the power to convert any ideally rational agnostic to its conclusion. He then argues that, given the kind of disagreement we find among philosophers,…
Is Reflective Equilibrium Enough
Suppose that one is at least a minimal realist about a given domain, in that one thinks that that domain contains truths that are not in any interesting sense of our own making. Given such an understanding, what can be said for and against the method of reflective equilibrium as a procedure for investigating the domain
Moral Realism without Convergence
It is sometimes claimed that if moral realism is true, then rational and informed individuals would not disagree about morality. According to this line of thought, the moral realist is committed to an extremely substantive convergence thesis, one that might very well turn out to be false. Although this idea has been accepted by prominent moral realists as well as by antirealists, I argue that we have no reason to think that it is true, and that t…
