| Title | Sustainable Moral Skepticism: Anti-Realism and Liberal Neutrality |
| Summary | This essay seeks to establish that moral anti-realism (the kind that abandons the language of moral objectivism) is a meta-ethical view which can be congruent with the liberal view of people as free and equal, in which case it demands liberal moral and political neutrality. The main motivation for this endeavor is the belief that the language of moral objectivism harbors non-compromising attitudes. The principle of equal consideration of interests seems not to be the rational basis for the metaphysical nature of morality, but we can invoke it in the realm of liberal political morality because liberal portrayals of people as free and equal provide us with premises to affirm the view that our interests are just one of many, and that they are equally important as any other. |
