MORAL FACTS AS CONFIGURING CAUSES.
The overarching aim of this essay is to argue that moral realists should be “causalists” or claim that moral facts of certain kinds are causally efficacious. To this end, I engage in two tasks. The first is to develop an account of the sense in which moral facts of certain kinds are causally efficac...

The second is to show that the causalist position I develop can withstand objections inspired by the work of Robert Audi and Jaegwon Kim. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Pacific Philosophical Quarterly is the property of Wiley-Blackwell and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
