Moral epistemology

Alison Hills

pp. 249-263

Abstract

I will begin with a puzzle about moral epistemology. At first sight, the puzzle is primarily a problem for moral realism, since it highlights some ways in which moral epistemology differs from the epistemology of non-moral matters of fact. But I will argue that the problem is much broader, that it affects not just moral realism but other major metaethical theories.
