Atheism and Ethics

[Lucian]

Thanks Boru. I am interested in views of morality from a cognitivist realist perspective, you could be indicating something like this through a relativistic philosophy but I am not sure you are? Do you think that moral standards have some sort of force to direct motivation and actions that lies external to us but in societal norms somehow? Or are you saying that morality is just a projection of the common attitudes towards behaviours?

The latter.

Well I have no major quarrel with that opinion. Trying to be challenged by opinions I disagree with, and recognising I haven’t thought through those views well enough. 
Out of interest though, anything beyond Harris that you would recommend?
