ABSTRACT
In Chapter 1, I said that one way we might think of metaethics is as the subdiscipline of philosophical study of ethics that seeks to answer questions in other areas of philosophy, such as metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of language, and philosophy of mind as they apply to ethics. We have now explored the four main theoretical traditions. Throughout this book, we have understood the four main theories both in terms of their commitments along various dimensions of metaethics and in terms of choice points that are represented in Figure 6.1 (which is a slight enhancement of Figure 1.1).
