Do you think it's true that you think your question is a more important question? Is that a true statement of your own beliefs? How do you know?
Quote:I think you're about half a step away from church, buddy. You are talking about a level of truth that people cannot knowingly access, but you refer to it as though it means something.
This is just getting weirder and weirder. Are you unable to access the truth of the matter of whether or not you hold a belief about something? If you can access that, you have access to the level of truth I'm talking about.
This is for both of you. All that's being asked on the issue between cognitivism and con cognitivism, is whether or not some moral proposition expresses a state of belief.
It doesn't have to be an accurate belief.
There's no mention of what that belief refers to.
Subjectivism, realism, and error theory......are all positions of moral cognitivism.
