Publisher's Synopsis
The new discipline of metaethics appeared as an answer to the confusion and uncertainty of moral theories in the 19th Century, by requiring an examination of the epistemological basis of these theories, a rigourous study of the meaning of moral expressions and statements, as well as of the constitutive elements of moral feeling and motivation. In this volume are collected for the first time in French, the key texts that have defined the agenda of contemporary metaethics.
