David Brink

David Brink is a philosopher known for his contributions to moral realism, the view that moral facts exist independently of human beliefs or feelings. He argues that moral statements can be objectively true or false, much like scientific statements. Brink’s work defends a version of moral realism that emphasizes the importance of human practices and social agreements in understanding morality, suggesting that while moral facts are real, they are also shaped by our interactions. His perspective seeks to balance the idea of objective moral truths with the recognition of the role of human experience in shaping our moral views.
