Description
eply to both questions below about God Ch. 6 (pp. 74-89). Then end your post by asking a question about the reading. I will use this discussion to inform our in-class discussion so remember what you wrote in case I ask you to elaborate or if your question gets answered.1. Do you think there are “moral facts” that our moral claims correspond to? If so, describe what you think they are. Do you think Mavrodes is accurate in describing them as “obligations”? If you don’t think there are moral facts, then what do we mean when we say “X is ‘good'”?2. After his survey of views that may eliminate the strangeness of morality, Mavrodes considers the possibility that moral facts are just sui generis and don’t require any further explanation (see pp. 86-7). What do you think of that suggestion? Do you agree with how Mavrodes responds?Again, make sure to end each response with a question about the reading to your instructor or classmates. After Wednesday’s class, feel free to return to this discussion and reply to your classmates as much as you’d like. This is optional, but may afford extra credit if your replies are thoughtful and accurate.
