Metaethics Part 1: Cognitivism/Non-cognitivism
February 10, 2022 at 4:56 pm (This post was last modified: February 10, 2022 at 4:58 pm by Disagreeable.)
Are you a cognitivist or a non-cognitivist and why?

I'm the former.

Why? Because I don't see how moral claims can't make sense cognitively. I find it very easy to translate them cognitively. And I find all noncognitivist objections to my translations to be weak. No matter how charitable I am I still honestly find noncognitivist objections weak.

Epicurus Wrote:Don't fear god,
Don't worry about death;

What is good is easy to get,

What is terrible is easy to endure
