Cognitivism and the argument from evidence non-responsiveness
Several philosophers have recently challenged cognitivism, i.e., the view that moral judgments are beliefs, by arguing that moral judgments are evidence non-responsive in a way that beliefs are not. If you believe that P, but acquire (sufficiently strong) evidence against P, you will give up your belief that P. This does not seem true for moral judgments. Some subjects maintain their moral judgments despite believing that there is (sufficiently s…
Disagreement and inconsistency: A problem for orthodox expressivism
What makes two sentences inconsistent? Expressivists understand the meaning of a sentence in terms of the mental state it expresses. In order to explain the inconsistency between two sentences, the expressivist must appeal to some inconsistency feature of the mental states expressed. A simple explanation is that two sentences, e.g., “murder is wrong” and “murder is not wrong” are inconsistent by virtue of expressing mental states that disagree. S…

Being For: Evaluating the Semantic Program of Expressivism - Mark Schroeder
Meta‐ethics is a veritable smorgasbord of different views, but since I first sampled it, expressivism has spoken to my palate more than any other view. Of course, like every other view, it is bound to have certain unpleasant after‐tastes (if not resulting in outright food poisoning). Mark Schroeder's recent book Being For is the most systematic study of expressivism to date, and it is a discouraging read for anyone attracted to expressivism. In f…
Self-Expression - Mitchell S. Green
We express ourselves through words, tone of voice, gestures, music, paint, dancing and other forms of art. Expression is an integral part of almost every human activity and of who we are. ‘Expression’ is also a concept at the heart of a great many areas in philosophy, e.g., philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, meta‐ethics and aesthetics. However, ‘expression’ has for too long been presupposed but not explained. It is therefore in dire need…
Security in the Barents Region: Interpretations and Implications of the Norwegian Barents Initiative
This article analyses the new Norwegian security thinking as realized in the establishment of the Barents Region. Two questions are asked: First, how can the security approach of the Barents initiative be conceptualized theoretically? Second, what are the practical implications of this approach? In answering these questions, three problems are focused on: (1) whether security is an issue or a dimension; (2) the unit problem; (3) the problem of ch…
