Some arguments for the objectivity of ethical claim have a
'companions in guilt' form. These arguments defend the objective
credentials of ethical claims by comparing them with other claims
the objective credentials of which are not in doubt, but which
share the features of ethical claims that lead some toward
scepticism about ethical objectivity. In this book, the most
influential contemporary manifestations of this strategy are
subjected to critical analysis for the first time.
This is a systematic study of 'companions in guilt' arguments in
moral philosophy. Lillehammer distinguishes between two distinct
forms of these, which he calls 'arguments by entailment' and
'arguments by analogy' respectively. For each strategy, Lillehammer
examines three of its most prominent manifestations in contemporary
ethical thought.
