That’s a Wrap

Today we’re going to wrap up the semester, overview how we got here, and finally draw the whole picture on the board of the two challenges to moral realism that we’ve been considering this semester. In encourage you to keep reading in Slaves of the Passions, if you are interested, but Chapter 7 is the hardest chapter of the book, and it contains the most important loose strands from chapters 5 and 6.

Congratulations! If you have kept up with everything this semester you have mastered a large portion of contemporary metaethics, and if you encounter almost anything else in the area of metaethics, you will have enough reference points to be able to see how it relates in some way or another to the topics that we’ve covered in this class.

Please don’t forget to make progress on your final term paper and to take advantage of early submission in order to receive your three opportunities to submit!
