"[P]resents a clear, elegant, and enjoyable argument in favor of
moral realism. Anybody with serious interest in metaethics should
read it, if only to familiarize themselves with a strain of realist
argument that is likely to be influential in future
debates."--Mind
"The difference between being good and bad, Bloomfield argues, is
in many ways like the difference between being healthy and
unhealthy. You may not care about either difference, but that does
not make the differences any less real. An engaging, original,
uncompromising, and ultimately pretty convincing defense of moral
realism."--David Schmidtz, University of Arizona
"Bloomfield masterfully articulates and defends a metaethical
theory that represents the most plausible form of moral realism now
on offer. He deftly engages certain metaphysical and linguistic
similarities between the properties of moral goodness and physical
healthiness, forcefully arguing that there is as much reason to be
a realist about morals as there is to be a realist about health.
This book is a pleasure to read and will surely have a
significant
impact on contemporary metaethical debate."--Mark Timmons,
University of Memphis
