Moral Reality cover

Over the course of this short, accessible book, Paul Bloomfield offers a rigorous defense of moral realism by developing an ontology for morality which models being morally good on being physically healthy. He develops this model by explaining the metaphysics of moral properties, our epistemic access to them, the structure of moral discourse, and how we become motivated to act morally.

A clear, elegant, and enjoyable argument in favour of moral realism. Anybody with a serious interest in metaethics should read it, if only to familiarize themselves with a strain of realist argument that is likely to be influential in future debates ... impressive ... lively and stimulating contribution. * Mind *
