Moral theories address questions about what is right and wrong, what is obligatory, what is impermissible, what our ideals should be, and the like. This book examines the key presuppositions and philosophical commitments that support and shape moral theories. Many of the topics discussed belong to what is called “metaethics,” which is a study of moral concepts, language, and thought, rather than a study of moral issues themselves
