Scepticism about morality is as old as morality itself.
Philosophers have attacked the singular institution of morality,
but have these sceptics correctly identified their target? In this
book a descriptive metaphysics of morals is presented, revealing
how philosophical critics have consistently misidentified the
institution of morality. Mark Platts' first book "Ways of Meaning"
argued within the context of the philosophy of language that a
realist account of moral thought was possible; "Moral Realities"
defends the same possibility from the perspective of the philosophy
of psychology. Platts engages the classical moral philosophies of
Hume, Mandeville and Nietzsche, and tackles the powerful arguments
of the contemporary moral relativists. His critique of the existing
philosophical notions of desire and value enables him to clarify
both what morality is and what it is not. This book should be of
interest to advanced students and teachers of philosophy.
