Abstract

This chapter aims to enrich the moral realism debate with three classic arguments from the scientific realism debate. Just as scientific realists construct the no-miracles argument for scientific realism, so moral realists can construct the no-miracles argument for moral realism. Just as scientific antirealists construct the pessimistic induction and the problem of underdetermination for scientific antirealism, so moral antirealists can construct the pessimistic induction and the problem of underdetermination for moral antirealism.
