Oxford University Press - The Moral Universe Philosophy Book

The Moral Universe by Oxford University Press offers a significant advancement in metaethical thinking. This work provides a sustained and sophisticated development of nonnaturalistic moral realism, making it a vital resource for students and scholars of philosophy. By employing a novel philosophical method, the text addresses fundamental questions regarding the nature of moral reality and its connection to the natural world. It explores the core laws of ethics and the normative authority that governs human behavior. The authors present new ways to understand these concepts, arguing that moral standards for how to act and how to exist are not just objectively authoritative, but essentially so. This book moves beyond the idea that moral standards arise from personal preference, instead positioning them within a broader framework of reality. It is an essential addition to any collection focused on epistemology, ethics, and the fundamental nature of moral truths.
