Quasi-Realism for Realists
Abstract
This is an accepted article with a DOI pre-assigned that is not yet published.
Reductive realists about normative properties are often charged with being relativists: it is often argued that their view implies that when two people make conflicting normative judgements, these judgements can both be true. I argue that reductive realists can answer this charge by copying the quasi-realist moves that many expressivists make. I then argue that the remaining difference between reductive realism and expressivism is unimportant.Keywords: reductive realism, relativism, expressivism, quasi-realism
