Sample text
Meta-Ethical Pyrrhonists do differ from their classical forebears in issuing moral judgments and engaging in debate with a view to coming to some settled opinion about what ought to be done (rather than what appears as if it ought to be done)—that is, what first-order moral judgment or course of action one should endorse. They agree with their forebears, of course, in thinking that no settled second-order judgment can be reached as to the metaphysical nature of moral norms or values. The justification for coming to an opinion about first-order judgments is one that classical Pyrrhonists did not consider, although Pascal most certainly did.
2 I have omitted from the quote the word van Fraassen is actually discussing which is the word ‘part’ but his point is equally applicable to the word ‘wrong’. 3 For a compelling defense of the hypothesis that convulsive ergotism may have been the physiological basis for the Salem witchcraft crisis of 1692, see Capporeal (1976). 4 My conjecture is that fixation on the water-H O model has led to complacency amongst naturalists that 2 the Hard Problem is no harder in the moral case than the water case.
However, not every philosopher shares a passion for metaphysics. 18 Someone sympathetic to van Fraassen’s views might endorse Meta-Ethical Pyrrhonism as a stable and defensible position about the irrelevance of moral ontology to moral theorizing on the grounds that Moral Realism poses a pointless epistemic risk, following van Fraassen’s argument for Constructive Empiricism: If I believe a theory to be true and not just empirically adequate, my risk of being shown wrong is exactly the risk that the weaker entailed belief will conflict with actual experience.
