For SkeptiCamp NYC 2013, I will be participating in a debate about whether or not objective moral truths exist. Can science answer normative questions?
(I say "Yes". But, that's not the point of this thread.... At least, not yet.)
My opponent belongs to a branch of moral theory called Error Theory. One of its champions seems to be Richard T. Garner, author of a book called Beyond Morality.
I figured it might be a good idea to pick the minds of this forum, a little, about that. But, since search results have yielded nothing about him, so far, I figured I would start this thread.
So, I'd like to know if anyone, here, has anything to say about his ideas: Pro or Con.
I have not read the book, yet. But, I aim to go through it soon, in preparation for this debate. My opinion, so far, is that he might be a bit... wooish. But, I could be wrong about that. Anyone care to steer me in any particular direction?
