Thinking How to Live
Book • 2003
In 'Thinking How to Live', Allan Gibbard delves into the realm of ethical theory, particularly addressing what he terms 'planning questions' rather than empirical questions about the natural world.
The book examines how moral judgments are made and what moral terms and statements mean.
Gibbard discusses his metaethical ideas, including the notion that moral questions are fundamentally about planning and decision-making rather than empirical facts.
He also engages with various philosophical theories, including expressivism and the normative concept of meaning.
