Metaethical realism is the view that there are absolute, objective moral facts. The main three antirealist theories in metaethics are expressivism, according to which moral judgments don't state facts but express non-cognitive attitudes like desires or emotions, relativism, the view that there are moral facts but these are relative, and the error theory, which claims that since there are no moral facts and moral judgments presuppose the existence of such facts, all moral judgments are false.

On December 11, we will discuss each of these theories. Then we will focus our attention on expressivism for the last two days.
