Can Reliance on Quasi-Dependent Meaning Save Stevenson's Ethics?

Blankemeyer, Kenneth J.

Journal of Thought, 12, 1, 26-30, Jan 77

Evaluates C. L. Stevenson's theory of emotive meaning, an integral part to his general metaethical theory. This theory allows him to explain why ethics cannot be reduced to a branch of science and why ethical disagreements are often not susceptible to solution by empirical or logical means. (Author/RK)
