Expressivism
Year: 2023
Type: book-chapter
Abstract: This chapter introduces expressivism, focusing on its application to the ethical domain. It details the concerns that have been particularly influential in the emergence and development of ethical expressivism and explains how the related view of speaker subjectivism can be seen as an early attempt to deal with these concerns. It is shown that while ethical expressivism addresses the problem of moral disagreement besetting speaker subjectivism, it faces challenges of its own. In particular, the chapter presents the Frege-Geach Problem, the Many Attitudes Problem, and the Wishful Thinking Problem for expressivism as well as the Problem of Creeping Minimalism affecting certain sophisticated forms of expressivism.
