Thus we have every reason not to believe in them. Similarly, I think that Donagan (The Theory of Morality) and Mackie (Ethics: Inventing Right and Wrong) make crucial points in ethical theory, although these points are too rarely grasped by other philosophers. If a man will go into a library and spend a few days with the Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics he will soon discover the massive unanimity of the practical reason in man. For relevant contemporary work, see Mackie's works, Ethics: Inventing Right and Wrong or Hume's Moral Theory. His book in ethics "Inventing Right and Wrong" is also fantastic, but less directly about atheism. I remember, today, only one of those contributions: “Rule Egoism,” a short note that dovetailed nicely with J.L. (1977) Ethics: inventing right and wrong, Harmondsworth: Penguin Pickering, N. It really depends who the list is for. As morality goes, they would have to be very weird facts. Also his book “Ethics: Inventing Right and Wrong” is good but probably only the first few chapters are worth reading (it's metaethics not ethics… that's my excuse). (2006) The Metaphor of Mental Illness, Oxford: Oxford University Press Szasz, T. Aside from Russell, he has influenced me more than any other philosopher. Secondly, there are no moral facts (a position called moral nihilism or an error theory of morality, defended in his book, Ethics: Inventing Right and Wrong). Perhaps that's inevitable, but the more we do it the less chance there is of reaching a consensus. The claim that either moral knowledge is impossible or moral value does not exist, defined respectively, is more popularly associated with J.L. From the Babylonian Hymn to Samos, from the Laws of I think that the issue here is to think of man's moral depravity as something that affects our knowledge of right and wrong to the same extent as it affects our ability to choose right over wrong.
