About the Authors

In this crisply written book, Hanno Sauer offers the first book-length treatment of debunking arguments in ethics, developing an empirically informed and philosophically sophisticated account of genealogical arguments and their significance for the reliability of moral cognition. He breaks new ground by introducing a series of novel distinctions into the current debate, which allows him to develop a framework for assessing the prospects of debunking or vindicating our moral intuitions. He also challenges the justification of some of our moral judgments by showing that they are based on epistemically defective processes. His book is an original, cutting-edge contribution to the burgeoning field of empirically informed metaethics, and will interest philosophers, psychologists, and anyone interested in how - and whether - moral judgment works.
- Fills a gap in the literature on the topic of evolutionary debunking arguments, and debunking arguments in ethics more generally
- Develops an account of debunking arguments in moral philosophy and applies it to specific instances of debunking arguments in moral philosophy, metaethics, and political psychology
- Ideal for researchers and graduate students who want to get acquainted with the debate on debunking arguments
