One-day conference on METAETHICS
Topics in Metaethics are among the most discussed and
contested topics in contemporary moral philosophy. In
particular, there are three issues which are
especially salient and will be the focus of this
conference: moral realism/anti-realism, practical
reason and normativity in ethics. The conference
brings together leading contributors to the debates in

positions held on these issues. The proceedings of the
conference will be published as a special theme issue
of the Journal of Moral Philosophy.
