After a period of functioning my brain has taken the inevitable turn to being a complete dullard and failing to function well, so not the best reply here
But yep, I am mainly interested in the question of how we know moral facts if they are mind-independently real. Joyce uses the term non-institutional categorical imperatives. What case is there to be made for such facts as existing as a real objective standard that would be true regardless of all folk decided otherwise
Listening to a paper by Joyce on the way home from work today about projectivism and the idea that we project our feelings onto the world in some sense and then objectify those experiences. He notes that this technically isn’t an anti-realist position, as even realists can adopt this and claim that those experiences that cohere with objective morals are right, and those that aren’t aren’t. Wondering what psychological account of moral apprehension is in vogue in realist literature? I am halfway through Cuneo’s Normative Web and I haven’t quite picked up on anything yet. That could be because of a lack of attention or just that he hasn’t covered it yet.
Thoughts?
