...Graham Bex-Priestley; Will Gamester Moral expressivists have been wrestling with the Frege–Geach problem for the best part of a century, with mixed success. ¹ In recent years, however, so-called ‘hybrid’ expressivists have claimed to solve the problem ‘on the cheap’ (Ridge 2006 : 309...

... judgements, thereby taming the Frege-Geach Problem and conferring a dialectical advantage over non-hybrid, ‘pure’ forms of expressivism. But this will only work if our normative perspectives are themselves consistent in ways that are resistant to such offloading. There are, moreover, serious problems...

... judges that φ-ing is right. In order to solve the Frege-Geach problem, ecumenical expressivism asks us to suppose that the logical structure of any given normative judgment (and its associated utterance) is to be mirrored by the logical structure of the believed proposition. For example, on PVEE...

A relation between objects, or between names or signs of objects?’ – set the course for a long-lasting but not at all satisfying discussion.

...: [email protected] 2015 Abstract Frege-Geach worries about embedding and composition have plagued metaethical theories like emotivism, prescriptivism, and expressivism. The sharpened point of such criticism has come to focus on whether negation and inconsistency have to be understood in descriptivist...
