After the authors jointly outline the major contemporary positions in the moral realism debate, each author argues for his own preferred views and responds to the other's constructive arguments and criticisms. Case contends that there are moral truths that don't depend on human beliefs or attitudes. Lutz maintains that there are no moral truths, and even if there were, we wouldn't be in a position to know about them. Along the way, they explore topics like the nature of common sense, the meaning of moral language, and why the realism/anti-realism debate matters. The authors develop their own arguments and responses, but assume no prior knowledge of metaethics. The result is a highly accessible exchange, providing new students with an opinionated gateway to this important area of moral philosophy. But the authors' originality gives food for thought to seasoned philosophers as well.
Key Features

Features both traditional and original arguments for each position
Offers highly accessible language without sacrificing intellectual rigor
Draws upon, and builds on, recent literature on the realism/anti-realism debate
Uses only a limited number of technical terms and defines all of them in the glossary
