Ethical Theory and Moral Practice, 2014
Over the years, we have witnessed the rise of a metaethical cottage industry devoted to claiming that expressivist analyses cannot capture some allegedly important feature of moral language. In this paper, I show how Simon Blackburn's pragmatist method enables him to respond decisively to many of these objections.

Expressivism faces four distinct problems when evaluative sentences are embedded in unassertive contexts like: (1) If lying is wrong, getting someone to lie is wrong, (2) Lying is wrong, so (3) Getting someone to lie is wrong. The initial problem is to show that expressivism is compatible with (1)-(3) being valid. The basic problem is for expressivists

Expressivism and Irrationality
The Philosophical Review, 1996Noncognitive analyses of evaluative discourse characterize moral discourse as primarily functioning to express attitudes that are not, strictly speaking, representational in the way that ordinary beliefs are representational.
