This book investigates the viability of practical expressivism as a comprehensive metaethical theory capable of accounting for moral discourse and disagreement. Neil Sinclair, a scholar in moral philosophy, utilizes a rigorous analytical framework to evaluate how expressivist accounts of moral attitudes can address traditional challenges, such as the Frege-Geach problem and the nature of moral truth. The text systematically builds a case for how expressivism can maintain its core commitments while responding to the arguments typically leveled by moral realists.
