What is morality? In Practical Expressivism, Neil Sinclair argues
that morality is a purely natural interpersonal co-ordination
device, whereby human beings express their attitudes in order to
influence the attitudes and actions of others. The ultimate goal of
these expressions is to find acceptable ways of living together.
This 'expressivist' model for understanding morality faces
well-known challenges concerning 'saving the appearances' of
morality, because morality presents itself to us as a practice of
objective discovery, not pure expression. This book demonstrates
how a properly developed expressivist view can overcome this
objection, by showing that even if moral practice is fundamentally
expressive, it can still come to possess those features that make
it appear objective (features such as talk and thought of moral
disagreement, truth and belief, and the applicability of logical
notions to moral sentences). The key to this development is to
emphasise the unique and intricate practical role that morality
plays in our lives. Practical expressivism is also practical in the
further sense that it provides repeatable patterns that
expressivists can deploy in coming to understand the apparently
objective features of morality.
