Sellars’ metaethical quasi-realism
SynthÈse, 2018In this article, I expound and defend an interpretation of Sellars as a metaethical quasi-realist. Sellars analyzes moral discourse in non-cognitivist terms: in particular, he analyzes “ought”-statements as expressions of collective intentions deriving from a collective commitment to provide for the general welfare.

(i) According to Simon Blackburn, someone who wants to avoid a 'realistic' account of our moral thought faces a choice.' The choice is between his non-reductionist 'projectivism' and reductionist 'subjectivism'. The former is the view that moral judgments express attitudes (approval, disapproval, liking or disliking, for example), which we 'project' or

Non-Cognitivism and Quasi-Realism
2011AbstractThis chapter considers Non-Cognitivism and Quasi-Realism. According to Non-Cognitivists, normative claims are not intended to state facts, except perhaps in some minimal sense.

I propose to discuss Richard Jennings' advocacy of quasi-realism as a new way of looking at science. I shall not be concerned with quasi-realism in relation to ethical realism and emotivism. Jennings accepts that the instrumentalist view of scientific theories is unsatisfactory, since it does not allow us to talk of theoretical facts or to make truth ...

Abstract Suppose that Simon Blackburn’s quasi-realist program has succeeded perfectly on its own terms-something I think not unlikely. Given the controversial nature of the program, this much endorsement from a philosopher and logician of Lewis’ stature is pleasant indeed.

Abstract In these essays, Simon Blackburn explores one of the most profound and fertile of philosophical problems: the way in which our judgements relate to the world. This debate has centred on realism, or the view that what we say is validated by the way things stand in the world, and a variety of oppositions to it. Prominent among the
