- Abstract
- Expressivism is the dominant anti-representationalist metaethic. In this paper, I offer an alternative anti-representationalist metaethic that I call metaethical pragmatism. Section 1 provides a sketch of the view and explains why I dub the view a kind of pragmatism. Section 2 focuses on the problem of creeping minimalism in order to draw out the essential difference between expressivism and pragmatism. In section 3, I offer the particular kind of pragmatism that I favor. I then motivate why one might favor pragmatism over expressivism.
