Recenzii
[E]ven those who doubt its conclusions must acknowledge that Wielenberg's book is excellent. His writing is extremely accessible, engaging, witty, and clear, he develops various fascinating novel arguments, and skilfully links analytic reflections with the consideration of empirical data.
Robust Ethics is a welcome contribution to metaethics. As someone who follows work in experimental philosophy at a distance, I found Wielenberg's engagement with this literature fruitful, since he is very good at identifying suspect assumptions and inferences made by those working in this field. ... As this summary will have made evident, Robust Ethics tackles some long-standing and fascinating problems in metaethics by making some novel moves and venturing into some relatively uncharted territory. For these reasons, it is a book well worth reading.
Overall, Wielenberg excels in clearly laying out some of the main objections to nonnaturalist realism in moral metaphysics and epistemology. He is also very good at finding the weak spots of these objections and in presenting philosophically and empirically plausible responses to them.
Robust Ethics is a relevant, worthwhile and well-argued addition to the ongoing debate about robust moral realism and its alleged inability to account for moral knowledge. Moral realists of theist, naturalist and robust inclinations will profit from reading the book, for it provides the outline for a novel way to conceive of the origins of moral beliefs.
