  • Description: Jonas Olson presents a critical survey of moral error theory, the view that there are no moral facts and so all moral claims are false. It explores the historical context of the debate; assesses J.L. Mackie's famous arguments, defends error theory against challenges and considers its implications for our moral thinking.
