Peter Railton's "Moral Realism" (Wrap Up)

from Closereads: Philosophy with Mark and Wes Hosted by Evergreen Podcasts

Concluding our treatment of Peter Railton's "Moral Realism" (1984). This is our eighth discussion of this reading, but don't worry if you haven't listened to the paywalled parts. This discussion can serve as a standalone summary of not only Railton's view, but of our efforts to actually figure out what a plausible naturalistic, empirical account of ethics could amount to. Read along with us, starting on PDF p. 42.
