Ethics

Peter Singer: 'Derek Parfitt's On What Matters is a work of epic proportions and ambitions ... a total of more than 1,400 pages of densely argued text that seeks to establish that moral judgments can be true and false ...' [TLS, 20.5.11] Very interesting sounding: although since not even Parfitt is going to argue that moral judgments can be true in a '2+2=4' sense, or even in a 'my wife is the most wonderful person in the world' sense, the danger is he ends up proving that moral judgments can be true in a moral sense. Not sure how far that get us.
