Oxford Studies in Metaethics is the only publication devoted exclusively to original philosophical work in the foundations of ethics. It provides an annual selection of much of the best new scholarship being done in the field. Its broad purview includes work being done at the intersections of ethical theory with metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of language, and philosophy of mind. The essays included in the series provide an excellent basis for understanding recent developments in the field; those who would like to acquaint themselves with the current state of play in metaethics would do well to start here. Topics explored in Volume 16 include moral worth, moral testimony, moral evaluation, expressivism, reasons, and normativity.
This volume investigates the current state of foundational research in metaethics by presenting a collection of original scholarship on the nature of moral normativity and evaluation. The editor compiles peer-reviewed essays that address complex intersections between ethics and related fields such as epistemology, metaphysics, and the philosophy of language. By curating these contributions, the volume serves as a primary resource for tracking the evolution of arguments regarding moral testimony, expressivism, and the structure of reasons.
