Those all look interesting to me.
In addition, the Clarke-Doane paper looks interesting to me. (Sorry, too lazy to link.)

All four of papers mentioned look interesting to me (the David Copp paper especially).  Also, high-ish on my list is this paper:

TRISTRAM McPHERSON (Virginia Tech) & DAVID PLUNKETT (Dartmouth)
Deliberative Indispensability Does not Justify Ontological Commitment 

It attacks Enoch's indispensability argument for non-naturalism.  I wrote a very similar paper with a very similar conclusion, but became more convinced that Enoch was on to something the longer I worked on it.

Ok.  Lets read these in the following order:


DAVID COPP (UC-Davis)
                                    Rationality and Moral Authority


JUSTIN CLARKE-DOANE (Birmingham & Monash)
                                    Justification and Explanation in Mathematics and Ethics


ELIZABETH HARMAN (Princeton)
                                    The Irrelevance of Moral Uncertainty


KNUT OLAV SKARSAUNE (NYU)
                                    How to Be a Moral Platonist



I don't feel like I'm giving sufficient notice for us to discuss these on tuesday, so unless I get resounding support for pushing through and trying to get a reading done this week, let's not meet this week, but come back sept 17th.


Let me know what you all think.

Aaron

PS. further readings can be added in the order they're suggested.
