Minds and morals.Sarah Sawyer - 2014 - Philosophical Issues 24 (1):393-408.details In this paper, I argue that an externalist theory of thought content provides the means to resolve two debates in moral philosophy.

I here address ontological issues raised by predicates first introduced to us via works of fiction and whether the universal realist should accept that any such predicates express universals. After assessing arguments by Braun, D. and Sawyer, S. (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 1 citation
