Event Detail

I argue that if present widespread moral disagreements pose a problem for our moral knowledge, then past widespread moral disagreements will also pose a problem for our moral knowledge. However, unlike present widespread moral disagreements, past widespread moral disagreements pose a challenge against what I call our dearly held moral beliefs—first-order moral beliefs that we have great confidence in. We are left with rejecting either our dearly held moral beliefs or the conjunction of premises in support of the problem. I argue that we should take the latter option.
