C. L. Stevenson

C. L. Stevenson was a philosopher known for his work in meta-ethics, particularly regarding the nature of moral language and the role of emotions in ethical discussions. He argued that when people make moral statements, they often express their feelings and attitudes rather than stating objective facts. For Stevenson, ethical disagreements often arise from differing emotional responses rather than rational arguments. He emphasized that understanding these emotional underpinnings can help clarify why people hold different moral views. His contributions highlight the subjective nature of morality, suggesting that ethics are more about personal perspectives than absolute truths.
