EvaluationEmotivism seems to be reflective of human nature, but is limited in that it merely tells us about that - rather than what 'good' is. It seems to define goodness as arbitrary, meaning that it has no value in ethical debates. It is incompatible with religious beliefs too, as well as meaning that no decision can be made unanimously. By reducing the importance of ethical terms, it seemingly cancels out the advantages of accounting for a variety of beliefs - this, anyway, is an expected aspect of human nature and is not useful in complex ethical decisions and indeed undermines them. |
