Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In this course we will discuss David Enoch’s defense of moral realism by a close reading of his book -Taking Morality Seriously- (Oxford University Press 2011). We will compare Enoch’s position with constructivist accounts of morality (Christine Korsgaard, David Velleman).
