Two Problems of Moral Objectivity
Two Problems of Moral Objectivity

Summary/Abstract: Two distinct problems of objectivity in moral theory are that of reference and truthand that of justification. These questions are often run together. However, it is possibleto discuss the two questions separately. A defense is offered of moral ascriptionsand moral properties, in opposition to the proposals of Mackie and Harman. Butthe thin or minimal defense of moral ascriptions leaves the second problem ofobjectivity unaddressed. Further argumentation leads to a proposal that claimslimited moral objectivity.
