Mackie's "The Argument From Queerness"
Number of pages:
3
ABSTRACT:
3 pages in length. John L. Mackie ascertained that humanity's moral judgments are founded in nothing more than a "mistaken belief in objective value" (p. 94). According to Mackie, if objective moral truth did, indeed, exist, people would then live their lives in accordance to just one moral body of law. However, this is not the case, as all of the planet's people follow many moral codes that remain inconsistent with any other. In actuality, and based upon this argument, there is no such thing as objective moral truths as they exist in the contemporary world. Having addressed these concepts, the philosopher has brought to bear his interpretation of the argument from queerness. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
