I should add that nobody who has read and understood the sequences should be surprised by what I’ll describe as ‘pluralistic moral reductionism.’ I’m writing this sequence because I think this basic view on standard metaethical questions hasn’t yet been articulated clearly enough for my satisfaction. And then, I want to make a bit of progress on the hard questions of ‘metaethics’ (it depends where you draw the boundary around ‘metaethics’) - but only after I’ve swept away the easy questions of metaethics.
